This Taipan belongs to a friend, can anyone tell us what might cause these bumps and what to do about them?
Im not sure if they are hard or soft.
The snake eats fine and a sibling is showing the same bumps but less severe.
Many thanks

Mr Jingles,
Is the snake moving normally, the tongue flicking out as per normal etc.
I have seen a Spotted Black Snake (Cannia guttatus) ...all bumpy it was what I know it as "stargrazer"....bumpy back, spasmodic movements, irregular tongue flicking...the snake was put down.

Hey Friend,
I am fairly sure they are hemoetobins. how ever you spell it. but if that is what they are they are not dangers to your snake. they can be lanced. I would only do 2 or 3 at a time and the snake will shed most of the scar away. hope this helped.
