It looks like it was rubbed raw. Is there anything in the cage that maybe too rough? Is cage kept clean because urine or even water might cause that to? You know if that area was not kept dry and then rubbed againest something that might do it to. Not sure I have never seen that before. You should probably put neosporin (without pain killer) on it to prevent from getting infected.

Maybe you should try a different bedding. I know some people use newspaper and say its a good bedding to use but it does not seem to be working for your snakes.
