Snake Buldges

We have a snake at work who has several lumps or buldges below her vent at the start of her tail. Any thoughts as to why? She is a 20 year old snake so I’m wondering if it could be tumours.

Nobody will be able to answer your question without pictures that show the area you are talking about, and are you sure about the sex of the snake? Older snakes sometimes have infected hemipenes. If you do an internet search there are pictures of snakes with such an infection. Tumors are not unusual in older snakes.

Honestly, based just on that text description the snake should be taken to a vet.

Good Point. 99% of the time, even if forum members could identify the problem, a visit to the vet is recommended.
