Bumps on BRB, Help!!!

miki00 Oct 07, 2004 03:02 PM

Hey, my baby BRB is about to shed, he is "in blue" and last thursday i feed him 2 mice and the past week 2 other mice. I took it out today to give him a bath in luke warm water to help him shed and help digestion, because he hasn't poo since last week, only urinate. I noticed he had 2 small lumps in the starting middle section of the snake.
Im a little worried because i have never experienced something like that with my other snakes. Is it normal?

Miki,
...How big are the bumps? Are they on the skin or under the skin or inside the rib cage?
