In my experience hognoses do pretty well at humidities of 30 or 40%, so unless your house is super dry, dryness probably isn't a problem. That's based on my Western, though. If Eastern's need higher humidity I'd look into that. I've been through a tiny bump saga myself. Well, the snake still has the bumps, but she's doing ok. Parasites can encyst themselves under the skin. But there are other things that can cause this too and my vet said the only way to tell for SURE is to cut the bumps open. But my vet tried anti-parasite meds without opening the bumps, maybe a vet could do the same for you.
It's a tricky situation, but the bumps themselves usually aren't life threatening. Oldherper will have some better info, I'm sure.
Heh heh, my dog's barking at the TV.
I'd like to know if live toad scenting can cause problems too, because I was thinking of using my pet toad to scent my hog's mice.

Peter: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.
Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?
