Spots inside of my baby snow

Nay-Sayer
After purchasing my new baby snow corn snake last night I noticed it has two dark spots inside of it, not on it's skin, but inside of it's body. One is near it's neck area, the other is near it's belly area. This was noticeable as soon as I inspected it because of the light ventral/underbelly of a snow. Could this be an impaction of some sort, tumours, organs, just a deep coloring flaw, or just plain ol' poo that I'm seeing? Any input would help, and if I can get the little silly thing to hold still long enough ill take pictures. I'll also answer any questions I can that will aid in an answer.
 
My snow was six months old when I got him, so he wasn't as translucent as a hatchling. I could see his spine, and various other parts, the dark stuff that moves down into his vent is poo. Thats the fun with having a snow, you know when to put them down for a bathroom break.
 
You would be seeing the snakes organs intestines and whatever may be inside the intestines. Most light colored snake are somewhat seethrough when they are small.
 
HAHA, thats good, because my ghost goes allover me whenever he pleases, and wont go in his tank, grrrrr. im hoping its just food. but still being a worried mommy. your snow is very pretty =] mines quite pink right now, i hope he grows out of that as most do.
 
Snakes drop it where they please. They don't have the parts to "hold it in." Learn to watch for the signs that the snake's about to go, they hold still, lift the tail, and contract near the vent. Snakes need activity to move along their "stuff" that's where we come in.
 
When my snow was a hatchling I could see dark areas in it as well. This is my theory: The one near the head is most likely the heart, the one closer down maybe the liver? Anyway, nothing to worry about. She is about 1 1/2 yrs. now so I cannot see them much anymore.

Don't hesitate to ask questions on here, that is what we are here for! :)
