Bump on bps neck... help
Ok so last Sunday I came home to my bp stuck to the sticky adheasive that kept my thermometer on. I eased him off and checked him over and he was fine(no scales tore or anything. Still active . Well next day I noticed a tiny bump and I figured it was maybe a strained muscle( didn't seem to bother him.) I ran my finger over it and it is not hard and seems to go away ( can't feel the bump) with finger. As of today it's still there and I am concerned. Snake seems fine still slithers fine, acting normal and has stem twice... any ideas?

NEVER EVER EVER put adhesives or tapes in the enclosure!!! i hope you learned a lesson and i hope the snake isn't going to suffer much more from your mistake.
pics are worth a thousand words; we can't offer much help without pics.

Re: Bump on bps neck... help
First idea is never put any adhesive in your enclosure.
Is the bump near where he was stuck? Can you post a pic?

The bump is not where he was stuck and big lesson learnt, I feel completely bad about it... this is dumb but could someone p.m me a phone number to text pics to and post them for me ... I am not computer savvy at all, the bump is about 1/4 in up from where he was stuck( stuck scales were 4 belly scales )

if you have a smartphone download the free app Tapatalk, you can post pics straight from your phone's gallery.

Worst case scenario is I take him up to brad McCarthy to get looked at but figured I would look here first

Last week someone had an animal get wrapped up in some tape. Sounded like it broke it's own neck trying to get free. I believe it died while we were trying to get the owner to take it to the vet. Try your best to get a picture posted, but please keep in mind there is only so much we can do for you here. Odds are we are going to tell you to take it to the vet.
Honest, I only need one more ...

That sticky tells you how to post photos. I'd take that snake to a vet though, if you didn't notice it before it got stuck chances are it's a result of that and could be alot worse than it seems to be.
