Red spot on ball python's chin?

[crapwhereaminow]

when he ate was there any blood from the mouse that could have smeared on his chin?

other than that i have no clue.

No it's a definite cut or rub mark.

From looking at the pictures I am going to have to say it looks like he could have possibly rubbed himself raw. Besides the retained eye caps how was his shed overall? Is there tape or anything sharp in his enclosure? I would put him on newspaper for right now you should clean the wound, apply some Neosporin (w/o the pain medication) and keep a eye on it. Hope this help.

There were no other issues with the shed. His hides are kind of rough, that's all I can figure. They're supposed to look like "natural rock"
I keep my snakes on paper towels.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll do what you said and keep a sharp eye on him. It'd help if he actually let me see his face when I take him out.

It's a feeding injury.
