OK, does it feel "solid"? Does it feel like it's broken ribs? Does she have a reaction when you touch it, like she's in pain? Does it feel "soft" like it could be fulid filled? Gently feel the area and see if it has a "pulsing" feel to it. Do you have any pictures of the snake "before" you got her.



OK it it feels "solid" it could be a tumor. If it's broken ribs you will actaully be able to feel the bones. If she has a "pain reaction", she's in pain and needs to see the vet. If it has a "fluid filled" feel to it should could have fluid build up. This build up "could" be blood or body fluids. The lump seems to be in the general area of her heart. If you feel like it's pulsating in the area take her to the vet NOW!



This lump "could" be a tumor, fluid build up, broken ribs, enlarged heart, obstruction, or ???? it could be something I haven't mentioned. Only a vet can tell you for sure.



No matter what's wrong with her she needs to see a vet. Don't offer her food just in case it's an obstruction.
