So, I don't handle my blood python that often because of QT, but I bathe her from time to time when she pees in her hide and then smells bad. So, today I took her out for a little cleaning and when I picked her up, I was running a towel down her body to get most of the water off, and noticed one, possibly two hard lumps within an inch before her cloaca. They feel like stones..I remember reading a recent post about someone's boa having the equivalent of kidney stones as a result of minerals in tap water - would blood pythons have the same sensitivity to this?

Now, remember, this is the snake that I adopted about a month ago I think, and she was very malnourished. I don't remember feeling lumps in her before, but maybe they could have been forming already?

Her temps are 94 on the warm side, 80 on the cool and ambient air, humidity's at 56%. I do use tap water, for all my snakes, because it's easiest for me since both of my rooms have doors straight into my personal bathroom.


EDIT: By the way I just realized I posted this in the general BP's section (because I'm used to only spending my time in the BP forums lol) Could someone move this over to the blood pythons forum <3 sorry about that
