    My Corn Snake Is Getting A Pale Color And It's Not The Shed, His Skin Is A Very Pale Grey And It Has A Smelly Mucus On It, He Won't Eat But He Is Active. What Should I Do?

    I Got a corn snake about a month ago. He was having a hard time shedding so I helped him with a damp wash cloth. He was fine for a bout 3 days then his skin started to fade. It's a greyish color and it has a bad smelling mucus on it. He is still active but he won't eat. I don't know if it is a disease or a rash?? But it's only on his neck and a little bit of it is on his head. What do I do?

    I would go to a vet, I would hate to say it's minor when it could be very serious. Clean the cage and everything in it with antibacterial soap and rinse it very well, then put clean papertowls down as bedding and change emmedietly when soiled! It could be a bacteria infection, parasites... Only a vet can determine what's really wrong.

      It sounds like your little friend may have developed an infection or attracted a fungus. Contact the store that you got him from, describe the situation. And ask if they carry a rub on remedy that will help. I had a similar problem with a lizard that was in the beginning stages of shedding. The store helped us out a lot. Good luck.
