My daughter has a juvenile female ball python and something’s been wrong with her. She got her in the fall, and she was great from the start. Eating every week with no problems, always frozen small mice. Very friendly and active and curious.
In early December, a bump developed about half way down her spine. It just appeared one day. She also stopped eating around the same time. We took her to the vet and she was X-rayed which confirmed no mass or anything. But a few of her vertebrae appear to be bunched up around the bump. Shes also not able to move as well as she could before, and she can’t coil in a good ball like she used to.
The vet gave us anti inflammatory shots to give her every day for 2 weeks.
So the lump is still there and she’s still not eating, but I know that could also be due to the season and brumation. Just wondering if anyone else has had issues like this bump on their BPs.
