I have a male cinnamon "Cash" whom we rescued from someone about two years ago. The moment we rescued him, he had a very large mass on his rear end area, so we took him to the vet to have it removed and to have Cash checked out. The vet removed the mass, checked Cash over, and said that it was probably a cancerous mass that would eventually come back, after which the prognosis would not be good... Since then, Cash has been through a lot, and has been to the vet since then, and had several shots. I have been unable to confront the fact that Cash's mass has been slowly returning over the last few months, as well as an additional smaller mass in the surrounding area. I dont want him to be put through anymore than he has been, especially since he currently is having a somewhat decent quality of life (eats like a pig!) I have never had a snake with a condition like this, and I have two questions/concerns: He sheds EVERY two weeks, and hes about 5-6 years old....is that normal? Secondly, even though he does eat like a pig, he looks "thin". Is that normal too? seems strange to me. I know I can contact the vet to see what his opinion is, but I wanted to hear some opinions from forum members first on what their thoughts were. Anybody who has ever had ANY KIND of snake with cancer, could you please give me some advice & guidance??!! He is such a sweet boy
