Hey, Thursday I went to check on my herps and my retic has this Tumor like lumps on his neck area on the top of him which of course had me concerned so I called the vet that next day to schedule a Saturday visit but they don't take herps on Saturdays so I was going to call back Monday to make an appointment, well I just went out there and all the lumps are gone, It's been 2 weeks since I fed him when he normally gets fed every 7 days, could these of been fat masses that his body had saved up and used up? I know in such quick time it seems doubtful but was just a thought, has anyone ever herd of this happening? I failed to get pics of it, other then those lumps his personality hasn't changed at all still always wanting food and once you tap him with a hook he goes submissive he's about 7' and a year and a half old eating XL rats
just in case anyone thinks it's husbandry he's in a 6' AP cage with 3 hides, one in the middle and one on each side, he has 2 water bowls one big enough for him to soak in if he needs it, temps are 92 on the hot end and 82 on the cold end. at night temps drop 4 degrees
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Zack
