That's really weird, are you going to take the body to a vet?

Re: Lumpy??????
Could maybe this help?
http://www.sidneyanimalhospital.com/...psinSnakes.pdf
It mentions skeletal lumps. It says, "There may be a single area of firm swelling, or an area of spinal deviation, either a sideways "kink", or a protruding lump. The area might be painful to the snake, and be might and he might be reluctant to move, or have difficulty moving." That's just what I could find through Google though. I'm sure no one can know unless a vet looks at the body.

Re: Lumpy??????
It could've just been convulsions but don't go over there in case it is infectious.

Re: Lumpy??????
he's dead...they said he was acting totally normal. I was there like 4 days ago, and he was fine, minus the fact he didn't eat. his belly turned red right before he died too...like...splotchy red.

Re: Lumpy??????
Sorry for your loss  , i would follow strict quarantine procedures with all snakes that have been close to this one in the alst few months, especially until you can find out what happened.

A necropsy would be the only option and but I fear he's been disposed of already.
The redness could be internal bleeding right in the area of just underneath his scales/skin.
