Weird spot on neck

[Spacehawk]

Hello, my garter snake here has recently developed something on his neck behind his mouth. I know these pics arent great i just took them this morning but i can try to get better ones when i get home tonight... anyways this is new to him, ive had him for about a year and this wasnt there, i cant tell if its a scab maybe he hurt himself but its more pinkish and i was worried about it being something more serious than a scab, i dont know of any reptile vets in town, if anyone has seen this before i appreciate all input or suggestions.... thanks

Looks like a wound of some sort im not an expert at that so i will let someone else tell you what measures you should take. Welcome to the forum by the way.

Thank you, I've been to reptile forums but I thought it was soo awesome to learn there was an special forum for garter snakes!

Any discharge? Is it scabbed over?

Spider bite maybe?

Also please tell us what substrate you are using, it may be helpful.

Good news, I took him to a shop and one of their snake guys said it was a ware blister and he showed me how to pop it, I guess the snake has spent too much time in water, for substrate I use aspen on one side and eco earth on the other. I am so relieved to know that my snake is ok and that it wasn't somethig serious, now im hoping all the time he spends in the water is just a species thing and not mites
