Deformed Body

[Ctah_Lu]

hi, i have a urgent question about my thamnophis, the last weekend i picked up and it was allright, but yesterday i took him and it has a small inflammation on the left side of its body, its not to big and it has been eating even whit that, its located about one third or more of its body, i was wonder if it can be a broken rib or someting, it doesnt seems to be awful and its as agile as always, i hope you can help me, thanks.

Can you post a close up picture?

unfortunatelly i cant, but it seems very simmilar to the guido´s thamnophis, only smaller, as if a mosquito has been bothered "him", and one thing that i read on the guido´s thread is that it can be a blood blister, it has sense because mi snake loves to scape and maybe it felt or something.

Most mosquito species are adapted to mamals and birds.
But there are still quit a lot of possible reasons for the lump.
It´s hard to give an educated guess from distance.

Many lump cases are the result of certain species of flukes (hookworms) which burrow into tissues and make themselves at home there. This is really a life-threatening problem when they decide to do that in the liver, lungs, or other organs.
