Best Answer

There are several potential causes, depending upon exactly how long after death you are seeing this phenomenon. If the color change was noted immediately after death, I would suspect the stomach tissue was dead prior to the snake's death. Within an hour or so of death, the stomach may turn green from reflux of small intestinal contents including bile back into the stomach. More than a day after the dead of the snake, the green coloration is likely due to bacterial decomposition of the tissue.
