Don't take my advice since I am just guessing but the 2 things I would guess would be either scale rot or just a Bruise.

Its not scale rot I'm for sure and it could be a bruise but than again if it was a scale rot be more over his body not just that little spot so I don't know

It honestly looks normal, like either an organ or you could be seeing some prey. Take a picture of the whole snake, and point to where the black spot is with your finger.
Edit: Does it look like the black is coming from inside the snake, or is it outside on the scale itself?

I have no real idea of what it is. I just thought that I would take a wild guess.

When you have light skinned snakes, you tend to be able to see a bit of its organs such as the heart, and you may be able to see its dinner, too. That's my opinion as to what this is.

You learn something everyday! LOL
My female pewter basically has a transparent belly so you see a lot of darker colours from her organs and food. So it might be that. Doubt it's scale rot though.

could it not just be some other colouration shinnin threw? these snakes come in different colours do they not? could be a good freak of nature.
Is it just the scales are discoloured or do you believe something maybe inside the snake showing through? Its just looks like some sort of scale discolouration to me...

@slithermama it could be corns do have so many variations
@caylan I think its just a organ showing through maybe the dcales are a different color but it doesn't look like its on the scales tho
@snakefood I hope it is just poop lol can you take a pic sometime of khuno getting ready to poop I wanna compare it lol if that doesn't sound to weird

Yep, I stand by my opinion. It's either dinner or the remenants of (poop).

Well we will see in a few days lol Saturday is feeding time for all of my snakes it sucks imma going to skip over my new pet I may try a live pinky just to see if he will eat it I never seen a corn give up a chance to eat lol

no but if they are stressed they'll just regurg it, and that's not good for them. I would leave him out of this feeding day, just let him settle in.
He'll grow fast enough!!
theapexgerman

Yea I'm thinking of just waiting till next feeding time but he doesn't seem stress he calm down a lot for me since I got him so I belive he's going to be a good full grown snake

From what I saw it looked like he was keeping illegal snakes and open discussing it on here. Not sure if that was why the banstick came out but it seemed a good reason.
