Try to get a picture and I'm sure people would be able to help you better.

:welcome: Pictures would help a lot. :gj:

ok ill try to get one up here soon. i was hopeing someone would just tell me its bone or somethin =/

Sounds like it may be a spinal kink. Does the tail move off of the bump in a different direction?

your bp has a booty. what's wrong w/ that?

nah, seriously. post some pics and these people will tell ya what's up.

Looks like a spinal kink to me. If it does not eat healthily and poop normally it might be a problem. It might end up being normal, If not you might want to consider a refund or exchange or something. Depending where you got it from it might be more/less difficult did you get it from a store or show or friend or something?

It is not necessarily harmful for the snake, but varies case by case from my understanding. Someone else might be able to help you better

i just got him yesterday at a show n plan on feeding him tomorrow. the guy i bought it from said hes been eating fine but i didnt notice it until later. i really appreciate ur help
