Ball Python Bump! HELP!!!

[Chase13]

My 06 bp has a small bump about an inch from the head on the side. Its under the skin and its a little bit smaller than a BB. She's very active and happy and doesnt seem to be bothered when i touch it. Any help would be nice. Thanks

Is it possible that she has a tick? If not, then I'd advise a trip to the vet.

i doubt its a tick cuz theres no scar or mark on the skin, nor would there be ticks around her. its more like a cyst

Yup. A vet visit is in order.

Whether it is a possible tick or cyst sounds to me like a vet visit is in order because only a vet will be able to diagnose your BP and better be safe then sorry.
