Re: Small lumps?

I think people are rightfully showing that lumps could arise from a lot of different causes, including tumors, scale rot, too much oil in their diet, too little Vitamin E, bacterial infections, and even misguided parasitic migrations. I read about one instance when a vet told the owner that the persistent lump on their snake was probably a tumor. When the vet went to cut it open, out popped a tapeworm from slightly under the skin. It's not that rare, but the point is that lumps can be caused from a lot of things.
