a slight bump

i found a slight bump on the neck of my girl. she's acting normal and seems fine. it's just raised, no broken skin or anything, and she doesn't jerk or shoot away if i touch it. it's only day two since i noticed it. should i worry about it? could it possibly be some fat cells just chillin'? temps are good and all, but her belly is getting pink and she's due to shed soon...

does the bump feel hard or soft?

it's not totally squishy, but not rock solid either. in between i guess, but more hard than soft. i'll try and get pictures up sometime soon. i have no time between school, homework and band...

k try to move it around see if it moves a little. push it from side to side let me know what happens does it move or not

nope no movement. it's more on the hard side now that i took a better look at it...

i dont want to freak u out or any thing but from my knowlage of cancer in the human body (my mom had a banine tumor) that cold be a tumor

i can have my dad look at it (he's a nurse) and then we'll see if we should take her to a vet. she's only a year and a few months, so it would be worth doing something if that were the case. thanks for the input.

this is just a hypothesis but any hard lump that does not move is a tumor or a cyst. i dont really know im just trying to help. sorry i know that appleys to humans but i dont know about it for snake. just a hypothesis.

Good Luck!

Keep in mind that tumors or cysts aren't scary unless they're cancerous. Tumors and cysts are names for unknown masses of/in the body.


I'd see the vet just so i wouldn't worry myself to death! :P

by the way how is she? does she still have the bump?
