Hey! So I may APPEAR to be a newbie here but it's just a new account, want to get my new business name out there. But I have a problem. I bought a Red Tailed Green Rat Snake about 3 months ago and she was told to be Captive Bred and a great eater and tame. Well, she came to me tame, however she hasn't eaten since I got her. I tried live and f/t mice, f/t rats, brained mice, freshly killed mice, and even f/t chicks, but nothing has worked. However, today I was trying the whole "paper bag" trick with a chick, and I noticed a bunch of strange skin lesions down her back. I snapped a shot of an area where there are three next to each other. These are towards the end of her body, but not right above her tail. She has 2 or 3 more further up her body, but not close to each other:

Has anyone seen anything like this? They seem to be healed over and aren't wet/pussing, but they do bump up off the skin. It is really odd to me, and I am wondering if she is possibly sick and that is why she is not eating. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
