Have to ask for help for the first time

[Spink]

I'm usually very good with diagnosing an issue and I'm pretty sure I know what it is but it's the first time I've seen this so I'm asking you guys to help either confirm my opinion or to correct me. I think she got herself pinched between her hide and the wall to her tank. I don't have a picture of the setup but it is the basics. 30g tank. 2 hides. Warm side (90-95) cold side (right around 80) humidity always 60-65% unless in shed. Plenty of cover. Cypress bedding. Water dish. I'm not a beginniner. I just want to confirm that this is nothing more than a pinch. I respect your opinions more than most people I know so please don't hesitate on your answers. And yes it's the only spot on her (Candy Albino 600g)

Maybe it's the late hour, but I'm having trouble imagining how your snake could "pinch" such a small area on her body, but I suppose it's possible.
Snakes do some peculiar things in spite of being fairly slippery...but keep an eye on it (I know you will...) to see if it gets larger or looks worse. It
looks more like those scales got folded back, while going thru something snug. (is that what you meant by 'pinch'?) Probably nothing to worry about.

It looks to me like just a small topical injury, which could happen with these goofballs any number of ways. I'd just keep an eye on it. It would be a good idea to use clean paper towel as substrate until it heals up. Keep the enclosure and the area clean.

Also, just throwing this out there: I would drop that hot spot temp down. 92 is the highest suggested temp. I personally don't go over 90.

But as for the injury, I wouldn't sweat it unless it gets worse. Keeping things clean will be important while it heals.

I was thinking it could almost be heat-related too, just not sure...better safe than toasted.
