Well it just so happened the guy that got him out for me the was the "reptile man" of the store. He told me that he hasn't eaten in a couple weeks (he refused to) so he would sell him to me for $35. I was holding him and checking him out (you know the routine) and stumbled across this blackish spot on his belly... not on the outside but it appears to be on the inside? It looked liked internal bleeding IMO. I decided to buy him! I wanted to give him a better chance of surviving in my home rather than a poor death at a pet store. I must also mention there were about 4 other corns stationed in the same little plastic container. I figured he went off feed (not sure if he ever ate in the first place) due to stress from the other corns he was with (no hides at all!). All in all I have him/her here at my house set up in his new home. Hopefully I will be able to get him to eat... I'm going to wait a couple of days before my first attempt. Im not sure about the black spot... I left my camera at work tommorow I will bring it home and take some pics. Any advice, insight and or opinions about the matter? Please share.

KEEP HIM FAR AWAY FROM YOUR OTHER SNAKES. Not to scare you, but I just had a snake die from possibly crypto. I cleaned everything and all my other snakes are great. But after she died she had that exact same thing. A black pebble sized spot on her bellie.Just be carful.lets seee some pictures!!! Of that dot oo please!! It could also just be a bruise! you never know! I bet he will be just fine .
