New here and a question :)

Oh! I should also mention that the size of the bump has stayed proportionate to his head. He has grown a bit since I first saw him and it does not seem to me like it has gotten any bigger or smaller, but rather grown with him.

Hi & Welcome, your snake looks good, congrats.

Maybe just get that bump looked at if its still the same in a week or two, unless you notice any other ill effects of course then sooner the better.

I personally would get that checked out, whatever it is.. It is not supposed to be there.

I'm working on finding a good exotics vet as we speak. I'm a little worried now. I just thought it was cosmetic and nothing to worry about. Glad I posted here, thanks for the info everyone.

Good that you are going to see a vet!
