Your snake looks like it has recently fed. Did you ask the person who you obtained it from when the last time it ate? Anyways, look for feces in a few days, lumps should dissapear.

i was told that it can be a intestine virus or fatty tumors anyone else have experience of this?

My snake did poop and all was good. It just looks like the lumps are to far back to the vent for it to be food.
I really need input!

Another possibility is the lumps could be fatty deposits. Do a search for this, I know I have seen another post of a snake with lumps similar to yours.

Or, are you sure the snake is a he, maybe its a she and is gravid. Were you able to get any background info from the person you got the snake from?

if you are so concerned you can take the snake to your vet for a quick xray. That can determine whether or not this is a soft tissue lump vs. impacted fecal matter vs. other.
