I hope this group can help shed some light on the lumps that run down Fred's spine. He is active, friendly, eats well, sheds cleanly, etc... I thought it was because he came to us as a rescue. My mom was underfeeding him & he was quite dirty & thin. But we have been slowly increasing his feedings. We have a ball python & he is very healthy with a smooth spine. We were told this is a disease, similar to M.S. in humans. Can anyone confirm or deny??? Just want to give him a good life, don't want him suffering.
