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
