It's been a couple years since i posted here,
my male snow has some subcutaneous swelling in his abdomen. That is below the kidney region and above the 1/2 inch above the vent. I don't see any signs of hemmoraging or brusing under the scales, and he's eaten 2 mice and had perfect bowel movements, nor does he fight me or squirm when i examen and palpate in the area.
The swelling is not hard, just when your feel him slither between your fingers, you feel muscles, then like water almost under the skin. I couldn't find any resources that told me what this might be, he never had a puncture there, so no abcess, and it's not hard either.
hmmmm..
very confused.
