If you're concerned, take it to a Veterinarian (?) - check for local vets that are qualified to treat exotics...

The nearest vet is about 3 hours

Can you post a picture of it?

Contact the seller too! Make him aware and see what he has to offer.

As you can see next to my thumb there is the bump. its actually not that big it just looks big and below that u can see what looks like a scare. and also a raw vent

I'm wondering if he's constipated and if soaking him in water will help. I think I'll try this after I get home
from school and let you guys k ow how it goes

six hour round trip to a qualified Vet.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

You can't really see the bump you can only feel it

I feel like if it was life threating the snake would act sick. I read some where that it might be a birth defect or constipation. I'm going to soak him when I get home and let you guys know.
