Help! Green mark/bruise on belly

Hi everyone, I have two ball pythons and a corn snake.

Pastel - 1 1/2 years - I've had him for nearly his whole life
Normal - 5 months - only had him for a week
Amel Tessera corn snake - 1 year approx - I've had her for 5-6 weeks


This is about my corn snake, I know this is a forum for ball pythons but everyone here is always so helpful and I know people also have corns.

My corn snake Lilly has been hiding for the last few days which is out of character for her, so I assumed she was preparing to shed as this is what my pastel does.

I took her out today to bath her to help hydrate and promote a good shed. The first thing she did was take a nice big long drink.

I then bathed her and noticed a green/purple mark on her belly that looked like a bruise and I'm very concerned as I have heard that this is visible on dead snakes.

Any advice or has anyone seen this before?

Thank you very much

Ammm pics would be just little helpful

Hi I have the pictures on my phone but I don't know how to attach them as its asking for URL link, how do I attach images, thanks

Use tapatalk

Ray, can you download the Tapatalk app, pics are super easy from there. Failing that, photobucket or a similar image hosting site will give you the URL link required.

Thank you embrit and qwerty, I had to use photobucket as tapatalk was not working for some reason.

This is the link to the pictures:

That's... not a good sign. IANA vet but my first guess would be ruptured gall bladder. Looks like bile.

There is no need for multiple threads in different forums simply be patient, thank you.

Thank you, I tried to remove my old tread as I managed to post the pictures straight away.

Temps are 28℃ on the hot side and 22℃ on the cold side humidity at 60%.

She ate on Saturday 8th April due for a feed today.

Thank you

I agree with what was said earlier...the vet is in order, it does not look good. It could be that something ruptured. And if she's acting lethargic I think that's even more of a reason to get her some help ASAP.

Any follow up with this? I'm hoping your noodle is okay...
