Re: Hello there!
Hi Eddie,
I have a real soft spot for T.s. infernalis, so I hope your snake gets better. A "growth" could be a lot of things from injury to parasitic infection or even a tumor. Please be sure to provide close up photos of the spot in question. Also look very closely at the eyes, nares (nasal openings), mouth, and vent (cloaca) for swelling, discoloration, puss, leakage, or anything else unusual. If the snake has been caged with a fungal infection for any length of time, there will probably be signs around moist body openings. Sometimes it helps to take pictures of these areas, so you can carefully examine them at your leisure instead of having to deal with an agitated, or fleeing, snake.
When you're ready to post pictures or give more details, you should start a new thread, so your comments don't get lost within other discussions. There are a lot of people on this forum with a wide range of knowledge and experience, so hopefully you'll find the help you need. Best of luck,
Rick
