A friend of mine sent this to me a little while ago. What do you all think about it? At this time he is waiting on a vet to call him back to get the snake in to be seen.

yeah that lump could be anything, it really depends on where it is on the body. could be an impaction, could be a big poo, a mystery egg, or a swollen heart. if you can let us know how far down the body it is?

oh, doesnt sound like a swollen heart then. When was he fed last? some snakes can digest slowly if their heat is too low and then the mouse begins to swell with bacteria and gasses. Is the snake..hah, passing gas?
Def time to head to the doc though! I hope it gets figured out!
 
Yeah I will ask him for sure when he gets back on yahoo. He said the snake is male so would be really mystery eggs if was that. lol

Yeah he is in Arkansas so is waiting on a vet to call him back a few towns over from him. I will have him post here when he gets any news on it.
 
He has an appointment with a vet coming up. i am glad he doesn't have the same vet problem I do here. As soon as he knows anything I will have him post here.
 
Not that I know of, he hasn't regurged and is eating from what I was told. Just the lump. He is taking him to the vet I will have him post the findings here.
