Mexican Black Kings Snake Health issue

salskingsnake Jun 14, 2008 01:33 PM

Hello
I have turned to this forum in hopes of getting advice on helping my 8 year old Mexican Black King Snake. I have raised her since hatchling ( Captive Bred)
She has developed a swollen lump about 3 inches long right befor her tail/anus
Her stools smell putrid and she has lost weight in the rest of her body. She still eats on a weekly basis which is suprising. I would appreciate any advice given
her diet has consisted of small mice/hoppers dead.
thank you very much

with wt loss even though shes eaatting id get her to a vet, and odd lumps are a couse for concern, it could be a harmless growth, but id worry about a tumor
keep us posted, and put up a pic if you can, may help us narrow it down!
