Any clue on what this is?

Had my female bp out to clean her cage and noticed this pinkness under her chin. Any ideas?

She is in a vision cage, hot spot 90, and cool 75-80. On newspaper, eats every two weeks, no issues eating, humidity 55-60%

Do you feed live?

My first thought would be a busted blood vessel from feeding. When was the last meal and was it over sized at all?

Second possibility is a burn. Do you use belly heat or lamps?

What is your water bowl? Looks like it might have a sharp edge and scraped her while she was drinking.

She does eat live, she's the only one out of all my snakes that refuses to eat f/t. I watch like a hawk tho cuz she was a rescue and she has scars all over from what I am guessing is leaving her alone with live. She also eats smaller then what she should. She gets 2 adult ASF's because she also refuses to eat rats.

I use belly heat attached to a thermostat so it stays at 90.

It's just a regular large plastic dog bowl, no sharp edges.

Would I need to do anything for a busted blood vessel? I think that's possibly what it is. The last rat she got I noticed some difficulty coiling it. Is this a common thing? I've never seen anything like it before

It doesn't look too serious to me - more like a scrape. Look around the enclosure for any sharp edges (also no tape anywhere in the enclosure). Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse, let us know.
