    New baby has a bump. Should I get her checked out.

    Here's a super Russo female I just got. She has a bump or two near her neck. From the pics can you tell if I should worry. Thanks. She's so beautiful I just want her healthy and not suffering. Hope I'm just being paranoid.

    Has she taken a spill or any fall that may have cracked a rib?

    I would have a vet look at it. There are just too many possibilities to try to diagnose based on a picture.

    You said you just got her - how long have you had her? Was she shipped? Did she arrive with the bumps? If not, how soon after you got her did they appear?

    She was shipped. I noticed it the first night. Have had her 3 nights. Hasn't had any falls or bumps that could have caused it. A reptile vet is a few hours from here. No problem bringing her in if people think I should. She's too pretty to suffer.

    Have you contacted the seller? Should let them know right away.

    I contacted waiting on response. They are good people not worried. Has anyone seen this happen? What should I look for diagnosing.

    Are they hard or soft? Do they move with the skin or does the skin move over the lumps?
