Cornsnake sick?

Question
There is a white crust on the butt of my almost 2 year old female cornsnake.  It is very hard to come off and there appears to be a little cut, trying to get it off of messing with it causes the snake pain.  It appears to be bleeding on one side and crusty on the other. Any idea what this might be?

Answer
Robert, I do not have any ideas on this one.  If the cloaca/vent is involved and or compromised in any way I would suggest veterinary care.  I have used Neosorin to treat various cuts and such in the past so you could try that if it doesn't look serious.
