thank you for help and sorry about my english

Answer
Hi there, the only thing I can suggest is that it may be a thermal burn. Snakes can change colour but it doesnt happen very suddenly. If you have a light bulb that is not covered by a guard or a heat mat that does not have a thermostat then I would advise doing this. Good luck
