I believe that is just normal pigmentation, more visible because the irises are lighter. I see it in a lot of snakes, and wouldn't worry about it at all.

Hope you find that helpful, Connie's work is very credible in my opinion. She really knows her Corn Snake stuff. The thread is so old that the photo no longer shows, but I imagine you get the idea.

Interesting! I never thought of it being a structure.

I wish Connie and Chuck would post here again. I always found their threads so interesting and informative!

I believe I read somewhere years ago that it is a small dense ciliary muscle which controls the lens. It is always located in the same exact place when visible in amels.
