It's hard to the touch. It also moves slightly.
I have had X-rays, and an enema done on the snake to relieve the gas buildup behind the blockage. Urates and feces came out.

I really think it is a hardened yolk but after 2 vets have told me it isn't, I'm confused. Of course the vets don't know what it is, they say it's some kind of blockage, just not a hardened yolk.

Neither vet has been any help and I have already spent over $300 and am looking at another $500 for the 3rd vet for the ultrasound.
If I have the ultrasound done, I want the vet to know what she is looking at and not tell me "it's a blockage" and she doesn't know what to do like the other 2 have.
