    Help!

    Howdy everyone, in the past couple of days I've noticed two lumps on my JCP, they're toward the end of her body slightly before her vent and don't appear to be causing any discomfort to her or upsetting her behaviour in any other way. She's recently eaten so I'm aware that this could be a toilet problem as she's not "been" yet. I've had her for over 2 and a half years and I've never seen anything like it the lumps also feel pretty solid. If any of you guys have had any similar experiences if you've any thoughts it would be great to hear them.

    They may be urates that have not passed yet. Make sure all your husbandry is up to par. You can also try soaking her, that sometimes helps with passing urates and causing bowel movements. Just keep an eye on her to make sure it doesn't get worse.

    Help!

    What's going on here?

    Never mind, I was seeing other post.

    Keep a very close eye on the "lumps"
    I don't mean to cause alarm but a few "lumps" popped up on one of my JCPs and it turned out to be cancer. They seemed to appear within a few days and she lasted about a month.

    Being down near the vent, I'm hoping she is just backed up. I would soak her for 15-20 mins a day for the next few days.

    Good luck and keep us updated.

    Thanks you guys, she's still not passed yet and they aren't always noticable but seem to have moved from a few days ago althought it might just be wishful thinking on my part! Going to soak her again today and I cleaned her tank out yesterday which usually helps her go to the toilet, she doesn't seem in pain or anything though.

    Wow, it sounds dumb but I'd not really considered snakes getting cancer, if she doesn't lose it in a couple of days I'll get her to the vet at the start of next week. Thanks again!
