need some help please!

ok, first let me say sorry if this is in wrong thread. I only have one snake (BP obviously) got it off someone who had him since birth, he's 5 years old and about 5' long. My wife and I had him out and letting him hang around, but we noticed something odd on his tail.. tried to do a bit of research and I think maybe is a maggot? but it's darker than when I know a regular maggot it..

here's the link to the pic that I took.

It's just a spur, it's a totally natural part of his body (most have two, but sometimes I guess one might fall off?). You scared me pretty good reading that, though xD

don't feel bad, i was pretty nervous about it too...

;)

It's a spur - all bp's have two of them, one either side of the vent.

Most of it is made up of unshed skin so the other one might only look like a tiny white version if the cap of skin has come off.
