    Has he injured himself lately? Is this "scab" in one small area? Its reall hard to give a opinion of "what" it could be over the internet.Can you get a clear pic to post?

    yes right on the belly it starts in the middle and goes to the tail at first it was all red now it looks like a scab ....and when he moves he has it humped upwards ..he is in with another and the other is fine ..

    A i hope you do not have two snakes together? Is the enclosure kept wet at all times? If so your snake has SCALE ROT :(.I advise you to get it to a vet ASAP and seperate them snakes.

    Whitesnake12,the line you are more then likely are talking about is where your snake was connected to its egg yolk.The umbilical cord
