Default Bumps/Swellings on Cornsnake
Help!

Luggage is an eleven year old male cornsnake. He has recently developed bumps/swellings along the lower 3rd of his body. They are soft to the touch and he doesn't react to them being touched/massaged. Does anyone know what these might be and how to treat??

Could be harmless fatty deposits, reptile vet would be able to operate to remove them if thats what they are

Sounds like fatty lumps. Is he overweight?

Thanks for the replies.

No he's not overweight, infact has only eaten one mouse in about 10 weeks.

I will get him looked over by the vets!

Same question as above? Is it refusing or is that all you have fed it?

ive seen this on snakes before its either fatty lumps or sometimes to much humidity (if kept in RUBs) dont worry to much if hes not eating as much as normal males normally do that this time of year but if its not like him there could be something wrong
