Please try and ignore the glare from the flash that has given a strange shade, i'm referring to the denotation / abrasion looking circular sore located exactly between the nostrils, slightly higher up the snakes head.

I did notice this first after what seemed like a clean shed. The snake is a Piebald male royal python, usually one of my fussy eaters. He has lost a little weight over the last few months but has recently started eating more again.

He is housed in a large RUB, with paper substrate, and im finding it hard to think of anything in his environment that he could have injured himself on.

I'm aware that the ideal solution to anything i'm concerned with is a visit to a vet, however my only reptile vet is a long drive away and i don't want to cause my snake unnecessary stress to my beloved Cupid! (That's his name)
