Blue dot on belly?

Before I ask my question I'll state what I currently know about this corn. He was born last August, is approximately 14-16 inches long, and weighs just over 12 grams.

I got him last weekend, and it was suggested to me to give him a week in his new habitat to get used to it, but within the first couple of nights he was exploring, burrowing, doing what I call lid crawling, and seemed to be pretty comfortable in where he was. I think it was the third day when I thought I'd see if he wanted to come out and be handled, since when I handled him when he was purchased he was calm and didn't seem to mind at all. While he was out and crawling around on me I noticed a small blue dot on his belly about about 4 inches away from his tail. I'm not sure what it is, and it has me slightly worried, my first guess was since it is that time of year I've been hearing something could be going on, but I thought I would ask here and see for sure. If the dot were on my skin I would think it was a small bruise, about the size of a #2 pencil eraser. Any ideas? Thanks.
 
If pictures are needed I have my iPhone handy to do so. The little guy just burrowed under the aspen, so I don't know exactly where he is at the moment.
 
Just a guess, but I'm thinking your corn snake is an albino of some sorts. Probably fecal matter in its intestines you can see through its belly.
 
His belly is a glossy white, almost see through yeah, and it very well could be his organs and/or some poo, didn't even think of that.
