    Ball Python Bump! HELP!!!
    My 06 bp has a small bump about an inch from the head on the side. Its under the skin and its a little bit smaller than a BB. She's very active and happy and doesnt seem to be bothered when i touch it. Any help would be nice. Thanks

    Is it possible that she has a tick? If not, then I'd advise a trip to the vet.

    i doubt its a tick cuz theres no scar or mark on the skin, nor would there be ticks around her. its more like a cyst

    Whether it is a possible tick or cyst sounds to me like a vet visit is in order because only a vet will be able to diagnose your BP and better be safe then sorry.

    To find a vet in your area here is the link http://www.arav.org/USMembers.htm
