Please Help! 0_O
SO, My ball has been having issues i believe its been 2 weeks now that hes had this lump, I am only feeding him Fuzzies, but yet he has a lump near the end of his tail that's pretty hard.
A friend who owns BP's for a long time tells me he experienced the same thing before that my snake is "backed up" basically its hard poop.
So we soak him and he poops a little (very little) (he hasn't eaten for 4 weeks) The lump didn't improve any.
my friend tries squeezing a little to try to help my BP get it out, it doesn't really help. He said its probably from not enough heat. so i up my heat to 80 degrees.
Next day my BP has red marks on its tail i assume from him trying to squeeze said poop out.
He said "that's normal, same thing happened with mine." We add a heating pad on a corner of the container so he can lay on that to help loosen the poop.
Well two days later it looks worse- more red. The lump hasn't gotten worse but it hasn't gotten better either. Also he avoids the heating pad which is not too hot i swear. I'm really getting worried. I soaked him in warm water again (a little warmer than last time)
i didn't squeeze on him like my friend did b4 or anything i was worried it was injuring him. i'm really starting to worry here its going on a month now that he hasn't ate and the lumps still there. What can i do?
What if its not poop at all... ?
Im going to attach a picture of what he currently looks like...
Hes a Black Eyed Leucistic Ball Python Morph, He has always been a little on the skinny side just so you know.
I need some advice other than take it to the vet. please dont waste your breath/time. That is my nxt step i just am waiting on money.
Plus my friend said they might have to do surgery if the poop wont come out. im scared. 0_0
