Yup, after he eats. If you see lumps any other time, something may be wrong.....I think. ( Sorry, one of them days )

Sorry for the prior post. What kind of substrate do you use? Maybe it swallowed some substrate. I hear that calcium powder stuff could cake up in the gut (that's why I'm skeered to use it I haven't had a need with any of my snakes.).Tumor? Parasite?I wish I could think of something positive to say, but I have no idea.-Sorry

I had a tegu grow a lump under its skin. I waited to see if it would go away and it didn't. It ended up being a tumor so if i were you i would take it to a vet right away and hope they can do something for it. By the way welcome back to the forums. Paul
