>>OR maybe it was a birth defect that you did not notice until now



This is very possible, I may not have looked her over before as closely as I have now knowing there may be an injury. You mentioned spinal injuries can be related from falling inside the enclosure, this is also possible because she does do laps at night around the lip on the top of the tank.



>>Otherwise, when it was moving around, did you use any force or pressure to try and hold her in place so she wouldn't dart off?



As she started squirming I did grasp her so she wouldn't fall out of my hand and onto the floor. I wouldn't say it was forceful but enough to keep a flailing snake in my hand till I reached the feeding container about 4 feet away.



>>If it is a kink or a spinal injury, I'm not sure there is much a vet could do to help you.



I suspected this. But she is moving about fine in the evenings as she usually does. It hasn't affected her as far as I can tell, I lightly touched the lump and she didn't respond as if it were painful. What's getting me is the small snap or pop that I heard when it happened, definately strange.



>>If your other corn is regurgitating, are they kept together? I might be more inclined to say it could be a parasite, but that you would need a vet to get help with.



No, I house them individually. The regurge was due to a meal being too large. Otherwise I have never had any problems with them or noticed anything out of the ordinary before. Regardless, I will set up a time to get her to the vet just incase.

Thanks for the input, it took a little bit of the load off.
