Lump appeared suddenly
Hi folks,
I'm new to the forum. I have a Garter snake of unknown sex that was wild caught almost six years ago. Has been healthy and growing nicely. Sheds in one complete piece. It's got to be over two feet long now. This past week we suddenly noticed a large lump on the snakes side, at the area of the cloaca. I thought maybe a wood chip or something had been ingested and gotten stuck. I truly don't know what it is. Someone suggested to me that I give it a washing in a mild solution of listerine and water, to disinfect it. It doesn't seem to be a tick or mite. We've never had either of those. It seems to be under the skin. I'm having trouble attaching a picture.
Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated...
