I've noticed a strange lump in this one. It's not food, because he's eaten twice since I noticed this. He also seems to be deficating regularly. Anyone seen anything like this before?

He hasn't seen a vet yet, since I had been waiting to see if this would go away. A few other things I should mention:
He's eating regularly.
He isn't regurging (and never has).
He's been soaked in warm water to loosen any stool.
The lump feels normal (not overly hard, not overly squishy).
Temps/humidity are maintained very well.
As an internet veteran of 10 years, one would think that I would learn to "search" by now. I've seen a couple of threads with somewhat similar issues. Based on other references, and since he's acting quite fine, I'm venturing a guess of a tumorous growth.

I've looked hard and I can't see a lump but I do see some bulging around the middle...is that it?
I'm not a vet so don't stress because I might be way wrong......Could it have worms or some kind of intestinal paracite that distends its stomach?
If the snake is eating and gaining weight then I guess that's not so likely but who knows?

Of course I always fear the worst and try to error on the side of safety. I figured someone would start yelling "crypto", by now. Yet he doesn't seem to have any detrimental symptoms. And he's always been seperated from any other snake. But just to be safe, he's got an appt with a vet early next week now.

Quite likely.
2 kudos for Kat. Great user title, and great sig!
But after saying the universal greeting, you're supposed to offer an energon goody...

Fecal was done and turns out to be just a bit of bacteria. Doc says he's got a little gas buildup and issued an antibiotic. He's already looking better. Poor lil guy just had to fart. :sidestep:
