    Nose bump

    My ball python has a bit of a nose bump right where his larger scales on his nose are. It doesn’t seem like he’s in any pain from it. I noticed it in July but now (November) it has gotten slightly bigger. Has anyone else had this problem? Any idea for solutions?

    his tank set up is a glass tank with half logs as hides he has a mesh screen top.
    Before I noticed his nose he was in a tub with a rock hide. (His nose was fine)

    Just a week ago I did witness him rubbing his mouth on the log but I’m not sure If that has anything to do with his nose.

    i also want to add he only eats frozen thawed

    Hard to tell without seeing the picture but it is likely due to nose rub sometimes it leaves marks and creates a bump on the nose.

    It’s maybe easier to download and use the free app TapaTalk to instantly upload photos from your mobile
