im sort of new to the world of corn's
i have a snowcorn, he is quite small... just over a foot long and about 1/4 inch think at the thickest
ANNNYYYWAAYS

he has some bruising from when he tried to escape through his reptile lid. i remade the lid with metal mesh so this wont happen again, but still... he has a couple minor bruises, they dont seem to bother him, and i figure if he has some internal bleeding it would of shown sinces by now... but just curious if snakes bruise often when trying to cram through things, and... if it just shows up on snowcorns more
 
Hey Vague.

Im not the one to answer that, but do you have any pics? It'd be interesting to see.

How long ago did the accident happen? It's possible that you're seeing an area of damaged scales rather than internal damage. Also, sometimes the internal organs show up as dark patches on Snows (depending on how much other pigment they have), so what you're seeing may be normal and nothing to do with his escape attempt. A photo would help if you can get one.

I have a similar kamikaze Corn, who I've caught trying to squeeze himself through a gap in the sliding glass panes of his viv that are a maximum of 3 milimetres across. He has survived some nasty crush injuries as a result and is still bouncing off the walls of his (new, top-opening!) viv in a mating frenzy.

They can pull though from some awful-looking damage, but the golden rule is - when in doubt, see a vet just to be sure.
