I was holding Srawbs earlier and noticed a dark patch underneath her about half way down her body.
As she's albino, she has pale scales underneath and what i see could just be her 'insides', but i was wondering if anyone else has an albino with the same problem?
she seems fine in herself and fed well last wednesday.

Does the dark patch move at all?
Can you get any pics? |

pics are hard to take because she moves very quickly.
not that i noticed. it's not like a harsh black dot or anything, it's more like something internal, like guts maybe!?
I'm thinking it's her internals but i was just curious as to whether it's normal to be able to see a very faint darker area on the underneath of an albino snake? |

Out of curiosity, does it look any similar to this:
Pic is of someone elses, but pilfered it for here because it was fitting, hope you don't mind. If so, then belated apols. |

This is the first time you've noticed it though, I'm assuming she was only fed one pinky, which i saw in the pics she passed that nicely.
Has she changed in herself at all? or is she still normal? How closely have you been able to look at it?
Unfortunately, i'm not brilliant with stuff like this, but it's always worth a quick trip to decent rep place or vets, to help put your mind at ease if nothing else.

i held her earlier and she's fine! inquisitive and lively as usual!
i looked pretty closely, it didn't move or anything?
should i be worried do you think? or do you know of a member on this site who's clued up on this kinda stuff?
last question, did Nova1990 find out what it was? |

SerpentSeven is a fountain of knowledge, unfortunately she's not often on this late at night.
As for Nova1990, I 'borrowed' that piccy from a different forum, but thought i'd belatedly ask for permission just in case she was on this forum. Using her piccy without actually checking first could get me told off. So again Sorry for using piccy before being able to ask. |

Jally is like that underneath and she's see through. She's fine and it's nothing, but I know it can mean other things.
I would keep an eye on it and if it changes, gets darker, more prominant or swells then seek vet advice ASAP. Same if she starts to have trouble pooing.
Hopefully it'll be nothing. |
