Scar on belly (Pic)

shion Apr 11, 2008 09:42 AM

I just got in a new blood. An adult about 5 feet long, and after my inspection I found a scar on it's belly that is about 8 inches long. Anyone have a clue on this ?

It doesn't look like a scar from surgery, more like it escaped from its cage at one point and when they yanked her out from where she was, probably cut her belly scales on something. It healed well!

The snake is about 5 feet long and the line on the belly is about 8 inches long. They said it was from the umbilical cord..
