Light snakes have internal organs that you can see.

Is it a young snake. Snow corn, amel, ?? Sometimes you can see the "poo" through the skin. This too will pass.

Does it look like it is under the skin? Maybe the next time you handle your snake hold it with a light behind it and see if you can see an internal organ in that spot (some lighter colored snakes can be almost translucent with a strong light behind it).

If it seems like it is on the skin I would see if you could get a magnifying glass and take a look. I have read about blister rot, which usually occurs when there is too much humidity and/or conditions were a bit less than sanitary. I saw a picture in a book, it would look as if it was tender or sore and the skin is a bit discolored.

If you think it is external try to post a photo and maybe someone will have an idea about it.

BTW, what heat source are you using, or did they use at the place where you got it? If it was a heat rock or a UTH w/ not thermostat I might also worry about a possible burn.

It could be nothing, but I figured I would throw those out there.

Sorry, I am something of an alarmist. ;D

I agree with the above posters, it sounds like he is fine.
