Is this an impaction

Hello! I am raising three baby corns. They are all roughly the same age 4-6 months. They had been doing well until the Snow stopped eating. He seemed stressed so we left him alone. Sadly, this morning we found him dead.
This led me to worry about one of the other snakes who recently stopped eating.

So I have two questions:

#1 Is the Snow's death due to impaction? I'm attaching a photo, snow_spot.

#2 There is a spot on one of my other baby snakes. Could this be the beginning of impaction? I'm attaching another photo, Maude_spot.

Any thoughts, suggestions and etc. would be helpful. Thanks.

So sorry for your loss. The dark spot is the gall bladder. Typically they show up really well on light colored corns and become more apparent after death.
 
Thank you. :(

So you're saying the gal bladder is the greenish spot on the snow baby? Is this also true for the darkish spot on the amelanistic baby?
