I really have no idea what to tell you about that. From what you're describing, it almost sounds like the first layer or so of the scale came off (with the pigment), and all that's left is a type of skin. I've never personally experienced anything like that, but I would put him on paper towels as a substrate for a while to help prevent a possible infection.
 
Without better pics it is hard to tell, but two things come to mind

1. Blister disease related to improper husbandry see attached link

2. Some one else here will have to help me out with this one, I am still fairly new to the hobby and I remember reading here somewhere, that those blisters which then take out the skin pigmentation can be related to a genetic issue and if I remember correclty I think it often kills the snake.

First I would carefully check your husbandry and the link I posted above, make sure your viv is clean, fresh, has the right substrate, and temps. Then get to taking care of the blister wound so as to prevent any infection.

There are lots of people here who know far more than I do and can help you out so much, you have definitely come to the right place!!
 
First off, I thought you had to be a contributing member to post pics?

As for the skin shedding off...may have been assisted too early. It is kind of like a sunburn in comparison. If you peel your sunburn too soon, the new skin underneath is wet and redder. You or the snake may have started the shedding process too early. Clyde will probably go into another shed soon to fix himself.

Hopefully there is nothing wrong but like Robbie said, your pictures are blurry. As for piebaldism or calico, those are not a bad thing. Using an antibioic cream will help as well.
 
hi robbie here are some better photos i hope

pj thanks for your help and robbie and everyone else...pj,s ansewr sound more like what i was thinking myself it is not a blister or a burn i think i helped shed it to soon..
 
Do you mean tinfoil for a water bowl? I am pretty sure metals are not good for a snake to be drinking out of so I would get a real water bowl for now, remove the aspen and use papertowels as substrate, apply some neosporin 1-2 times a day, don't pick at it at all, check your temps on the warm side, and clean your hides well. I don't know what that is or what your set up is like maybe you could post a pick of your tank.
 
i have clean out the viv now and put tissus paper down and fresh water bowl i will check him out tomorrow and buy cream for him cheers for everybodys help today honestly thank guys and girls...
jason ...oh ya bonny and clyde are our two corn snakes i think yous already knew that didnt you,s...
 
I really dont know what that is, listen to some of the other members who have already posted above...


Why would you not want piebald or calico?? Piebald (or generally piesided in cornsnakes) can boost prices and value of the snake ski high. And it has been proven recessive. Calico corns haven't been on the market very long so people don't know much about them. But I would love to have a pie sided/ pie bald!!
