Any clue on what this is?

[Satana]

Had my female bp out to clean her cage and noticed this pinkness under her chin. Any ideas?





She is in a vision cage, hot spot 90, and cool 75-80. On newspaper, eats every two weeks, no issues eating, humidity 55-60%

Do you feed live?

My first thought would be a busted blood vessel from feeding. When was the last meal and was it over sized at all?

Second possibility is a burn. Do you use belly heat or lamps?

What is your water bowl? Looks like it might have a sharp edge and scraped her while she was drinking.

She does eat live, she's the only one out of all my snakes that refuses to eat f/t. I watch like a hawk tho cuz she was a rescue and she has scars all over from what I am guessing is leaving her alone with live. She also eats smaller then what she should. She gets 2 adult ASF's because she also refuses to eat rats.

I use belly heat attached to a thermostat so it stays at 90.

It's just a regular large plastic dog bowl, no sharp edges.

Would I need to do anything for a busted blood vessel? I think that's possibly what it is. The last rat she got I noticed some difficulty coiling it. Is this a common thing? I've never seen anything like it before

It doesn't look too serious to me - more like a scrape. Look around the enclosure for any sharp edges (also no tape anywhere in the enclosure). Keep an eye on it and if it gets worse, let us know.

Thank you, will do!
