    Does anyone know why my ball python has a lump on it's head and what's the cure?

    It has been there for almost 2 months, about 1/4 inch dia., and it has stayed the same size, but he eats and passes regularly. Any help and comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks

    A picture would certainly help. Without one it's almost impossible to say what it could be.
