    If you're concerned, take it to a Veterinarian (?) - check for local vets that are qualified to treat exotics...

    Contact the seller too! Make him aware and see what he has to offer.

    I'm wondering if he's constipated and if soaking him in water will help. I think I'll try this after I get home
    from school and let you guys k ow how it goes

    All I can see in that picture is a
    six hour round trip to a qualified Vet.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

    You can't really see the bump you can only feel it

    I feel like if it was life threating the snake would act sick. I read some where that it might be a birth defect or constipation. I'm going to soak him when I get home and let you guys know.
