    moving lumps
    i was watching pretzel slither around his tank and i noticed something odd; along his stomach it almost looked like a lump was traveling through him. then on parts of his belly i saw along his belly lumps poking out periodically, almost as if something was trying to poke through. i tried to research what this could be but i couldn’t find anything. i just find it super bizarre and concerning. my bf says maybe it’s his muscles twitching, but i don’t even know. i’ll try and upload a video

    It sounds like it's his muscles contracting as he moves, but if you can upload a video we'll know for sure.

    Hard urates? They feel like marbles when you touch them, and can move around within the snake with a gentle squeeze.

    Oh wow that is pretty weird... it's a little twitch at first but then that lump at around 15 seconds seemed unusual :confusd:

    Run! It's an alien!

    Seriously, I've never seen such a thing...at first I thought just a twitch too, but the second one...?
    :confusd: Weird.

    I think I'd see a good herp vet with him if no good explanations turn up here.

    Yeah, that looks weird. Reminds me of a pregnant woman's stomach moving, but that shouldn't happen with a snake I don't think
