sick snake

my 2 year old grey banded kingsnake is developing wierd bumps on the side of his body. they run down the latter 1/3 of his body. they are bumps as opposed to lumps. are these fat deposits? could this be a parasite? thank you for any ideas.

I'd get a fecal sample asap & take to a vet. It could be a sign of a parasite... most likely worms of some sort.

Yeah, this is one of those cases where only a vet can tell you what it is and how to treat it. Hope it's nothing big.
