BP health question

[Collins2602]

I noticed a few weeks ago that my BP female has a lump under her scales. It is quite small in diameter, but prominent in it's....uhh....height. It started out smaller then kept getting bigger. She did recently have mites that I treated her for, and the treatment seems to have worked, but the lump is too big to be a swollen adult mite. So what gives? Can anyone help me find out what this thing is? I can post a pic if needed.

You need to talk to a vet...no one can diagnose a snake on the net.

Could be a tick. If it were me, I'd take her to the vet and have her completely checked out, including a fecal exam. If it's a tick, he can remove it for you and make sure there are no others. If it's not, then he should be able to help you figure out what it is.
