I have a 10 year old fem corn snake who has been recently been refusing food. I have not set area for brumation temps yet and all other snakes are eating fine. I noticed a swelling of her abdomen about 3/4 down. I am ruling out either a stool impaction or she may be eggbound. she is about 4 ft long and the mass is about 4-5 inches long and about 10-12 inches from the vent . She is extremely thin after the mass towards the vent. The other day she started to wretch and sort of "burp" is the best way I can explain it. Has this ever happened to anyone before. I have been soaking her in warm baths to try to iniatiate a bowel movemnt with no luck. She is not showing signs of malaise or fatigue. money is tight right now and I cant afford an x ray of her so any other remedys or advice would be greatly be appreciated
