What is this on my snakes belly?

I just went to take my stripe corn out, and I was looking at his belly and there are these black and brown/orange speckles running the length of his body. I never noticed these before, I am 85% sure of it.
These spots, don't come off, so not mites, and if you stretch the skin to get the scales to pull apart some the spots are denser under there.
I got a few pictures...

Is this anything to worry about, or am I just paranoid?
 
i am new to corn snakes, i ve only had my first one for a month or two but mabye they would come off with water? i dont know but if you havent tried it its worth a shot
 
Don't bother trying to get them off. They are a natural thing. Some people call them freckles. A lot of stripes and motleys will develop them as they grow. Nothing to worry about.

In the first pic, the scale second down from the tip of your finger, what is that? Is there some thing sticking out of that scale? Almost looks like a piece of bedding.
 
Completely natural, nothing to worry about!

I think the freckling is pretty cool. It at least gives some character to a plain white belly!
Here's my Caramel Motley Bayonet showing off her freckled lower half.
