Im getting worried, is my snake sick? Disease? what?!!!
Ive seen this before on my bp but only after a shed(she did recently finish a shed) and i assumed it was a stuck shed or a small abrasion from the shedding process, this one was small as well and they usually fall off but this one has gotten bigger than ever and im worried. Any help? advice? opnion? anybody? please????

reach in,and take it off,its shed,and clean the cage so all the tiny shed pieces are out,and it wont happen again

the stuff one its head looks like a tick

eh,could be actually,i never seen white ones in my neck of the woods,kinda hard to tell..better pics?,or did you take the snake out to look at see at all?

any updates on this?

Looks definitely like a tic. The local pet shop here had a Ball with the same spot, only further down on it's back. The clerk let me examine it and sure enough, it was a tic that was engorging itself on the snake. Time to get that snake to a vet and get some medicine.
