Okay, so Saturday morning I had my snake out (I take him out once a day except for 48hrs after feeding just to check him over) and everything was normal. He was a happy, albeit hungry, snake. Later that afternoon he got his 2 mice and i observed to make use he made the kill before leaving him to eat in peace. Nothing seemed off about the kills so I didn't bother him until today. I pulled him out and he was acting a little head shy, which for him is unusual so I start checking him over. This is what I found:





I looked through his cage thoroughly and the only area I even found blood was in the hide he hung out in after he fed.



Otherwise there's no sign of anything he could've hurt himself on. Only thing I can come up with is one of the mice got him. What am I supposed to do? Do I leave it alone or is there something I should put on it? It doesn't look "angry" or infected. There's some nice pink tissue that's visible and it's not actively bleeding but this is my first snake and I'm at a loss...? He is currently in Cyprus bedding. Should I switch to paper towels until this closes and his next shed? If you made it through this whole thing, thank you! Sorry for my rambling and thanks for any advice!
