    Does anyone know what this could be?

    I went to clean out my ball pythons tank today and found this on my male, I was just wondering if anyone has ever seen this before and where he could have gotten it from.

    Well a number of things. How are you heating the cage and do you have a thermostat? I'm just taking a wild guess here because my other guess would be like cancer or some wild guess, but then it wouldn't be red like that.

    I'm heat them with a lamp, it almost looks like a bubble but he also has some other spots on him. I'm trying to download that picture also.

    Honestly it looks painful to me so I'm pretty sure it's painful to the snake. I would honestly take him to the vet, but that's me.

    Whatever this is, this is not one of those time when you should look for answer on a forum, this is one of those times when you need to make appointment with a herp vet ASAP.

    I thought cyst at first, but the red inflammation reads burns to me. Vet needs to be seen.

    That doesn't look so good. :-( Please visit the vet ASAP. Keep us updated, and good luck with your baby!

    Take him to the vet straight away. It looks like it may have pus in it under the skin. Only a vet can give you the meds he needs for that. Good luck!
