Sooooo... a friend of mine had to move suddenly and I was given a corn snake to take care of. This snake is a little over two feet long and 2-3 years old. It has some sort of vertebral desease, whos name my friend couldn't recall. This snake is incredibly lumpy- I mean it practically looks emaciated because it's vertebrae are so swollen, like a long sack of marbles. This friend tells me that she was assured by a vet that the disease causes no discomfort, but she it pretty weak in her grip. I would like to know what the name of this disease is, if it's common, if there's anything I may need to know in general regarding special needs of this snake, etc. My friend was very convinced that there's nothing special I need to know but I wanted to make sure. Any thoughts? -Kevin
