Hi Hannah hows it going? That lump has happened to another members snake, there is a photo of it on here, some of the guys reckon its a prolapse, probably happened after going the toilet or something Lee's happened after his MBK musked on him have a look at the photos and see what advice they gave him.

Hi hannah,like the others had said mine had the same thing but went straight away after musking me,if it dont go back dont in waste any time getting to a vet as this can turn very bad if left out to long,but dont get panicing as it might just off been a one off and there always good advise from members on here.
