Please help, I'm kinda freaking out here. I have a YB Male and I've just noticed some darkened area on his mouth (like where his tongue comes out.) I'm not new to snakes, but this is my first yellow belly and I'm not exactly sure what the morph is supposed to look like. Like I said, I'm really freaking out. I thought mouth rot was white and came with mucus and possible wheezing. He's fine. It's just darker brown than before. For all I know, he got his face in his poop. lol.

Could this be mouth rot? Would you please post pictures of mouth rot for me (yes, I am searching, I just thought to post while searching.) Could this just be him growing older and his colors changing?

I'll take a picture after searching.

Thanks,
Bronwen
