Help my snake has a knot/bulge

I'm concerned about my corn snake. She has a bulge and it's only getting bigger. It don't affect her eating but what can I do or should do to get it to go away?

After seeing the vet, please let us know what they say caused that. It looks pretty serious.

Just now getting back on here. Vet said she thinks it's cancer?! Based on the snakes age and it would take like $350 to $450 to operate and see. Ugh sad to say but I can't afford that....

If you can't afford that, humane euthanasia is the only option. A large, ulcerated tumor like that is just going to become infected. Snakes can take a long time to show signs of sepsis, but they're suffering long before they appear to be.

I'm so sorry. That's a difficult diagnosis. If faced with the same decision, I'd go with euthanasia, but of course the decision is yours alone. My heart goes out to you and your snake. You have my prayers and/or moral support in during this difficult time.

So very sorry about your snake. Losing any pet is so difficult.

I hope we can use this opportunity as a teaching moment for anyone who might see this post in the future: if your animal has any kind of anomaly, please TAKE IT TO A VET.
