I need some help

[Mr. Constrictor]

I just tried to feed my albino and he wouldn't eat and he has not eaten in 39 days. Thats not the problem and I wouldn't worry about a ball that hasn't eaten in 39 days. When I lifted his hide and saw his head I noticed these marks right behind his head on both sides and a small mark on top.




Its kind of blood red almot like an internal cut. Its not a bite because he hasn't seen a live meal since his 3rd feeding. Its not a burn. His setup is a 32 qt tub, one hide and a water bowl. I checked my herpstat and it was reading a high of 94.1 with a low of 93. Thats on the tape so its a little lower threw the tub and paper. Is a trip to the vet in order? The other 3 snakes in this rack are fine.

I would take him to the vet just to be sure its not something serious. not eating in 39 days and a mysterious blood spot is pretty suspicious to me. Are you sure its not a cut, maybe something in the cage he could rub against?

Mike if it comes down to it I know of a pretty good herp Vet in our area. Dr.Monaco on planview road.

I would go ahead and take him to the vet. They will be able to scrape the area and view it under the microscope to see if it is fungal or bacterial or just an abrasion. Looks almost like a bad bruise from being restrained but I can't really tell from looking at pics online.

If he was mine I would take him in for the vet to check out. Good Luck!
