all of the pics look way to fuzzy to tell anything

yeah sorry pic is to blurry

sorry gonna try to take better pics today.

It looks like there's a bump under his skin? I don't know if it's the same thing but my pinstripe had a bump like that, although not as big from what I can see in the picture, and it went away after about two sheds. I don't know if it was one of his scales turned under or what but I just monitored it to make sure it didn't get worse and he didn't seem bothered by it even if I touched it. So, I waited a few sheds like someone suggested and it did go away. I'm not saying that yours is exactely like mine since it's hard to see in the pic.

Tick? Those are terrible pictures...

I was thinking a tick also, guess we won't be able to give a better evaluation til we get better photos.

yikes it is a tick, i don't know how he got it. never seen him with tick before. now can i use pam to treat the tub??

I'd remove the tick asap, and yes PAM the enclosure as directed...

omg is this the same kind of tick dogs get? how does a snake get ticks if they never go outside? sorry for the questions just never thought a snake could get ticks...but i guess anything that has blood can get ticks

yeah it looks like ticks from dogs. i have this bp for almost 6 month never spotted ticks before til today.

Hot needle and some disinfectant:)
