Dark Spots That Stay In Stomach Area After A week From Feed

22 15:33:20

Question
Type: Corn Snake

First off, I want to know what exactly are the "dark spots" in the stomach area. I thought it'd be the food, but I read somewhere (can't remember) that it is fat and could be built up and is unhealthy.

It has also been a week since my corn has been fed, and was wondering if it's a sign to slow down feeding or such. Or if it's unhealthy and all that good worries.

Thank you.

Answer
I don't really know what the black spots are other than the snake's internal organs. I don't believe it is fat deposits.

I think you are worrying too much. Unless you snake is an older adult you shouldn't bee too worried about it getting fat. Just feed it as much as it will eat at a meal and it will be fine.
