I just took my albino retic out for a little while, she's 3ft on the dot. I noticed, just at the right angle, several bumps that travel along her spine. They're not on the skin, but under it, right down her spine. She's healthy otherwise...clean breathing, eats fine, and is very alert, yet very tame. I have no idea what this could be as I've never seen this.

They're not very big right now, maybe the size of a small pimple, and they're nowhere else on her body but her spine.

Please, if anyone knows what this is, help me out. I wanna hit it before it gets too serious, if I'm not already too late. I've only had her 8 days, and if this was a pre-existing condition, I need to know that as well.

Thanks in advance for your help everyone.

Do you have any pics that you can share? Also, is the humidity very high in the cage? I have seen what appear to be similar bumps on ball pythons in an overly humid cage. They go away, almost like a water blister or something, but a pic would really help.
