Hey guys.. I'm new.. to the forum and to owning BP's in particular... I'm hoping someone will say I am just overreacting and have a gravid female but here are the partic's on what's going on..
Tank is kept at 80/82 degrees, no breathing or wheezing issues, don't actually know if it's he/she honestly... haven't wanted to pop it to check since I'm a newbie... started in the past couple of days I guess... very noticeable yest. afternoon to evening.. mid body down to tip of tail looks very swollen but solid, no lumps. Sam is VERY cranky and at the end of a shed cycle.. gave him/her a nice long soak yest. and when I ran my hand down around the lower portion of the body I could hear a clicking or popping noise?? Snake moves fluidly and without difficulty but hasn't been using the hidey log for quite awhile.. hasn't fed in one month but obviously that's not my concern here... what the heck is going on?? To get Sam to a vet will prob. be a 2 hr. road trip and at least a few hundred dollars... I'm in a VERY rural area. ANY HELP PLEASE??
Here are some pics too...
