I have been away from the forum for a while, but now I have a problem that needs an answer.

my yearling garters have been doing well, gaining weight growing and eating well. About a month ago, I was not feeling well and moved my little snakes and their viv to a bedroom. They were in that room about 2 weeks, and their water became soiled. When I felt better I brought them back into my own bedroom, only to find they have developed odd lumps along there spine area. I do not think the lumps are in the spine, but they are deep under the skin and run along the dorsal area. Of course I have cleaned their environment thoroughly. These are not mites nor blisters... I know what they are.

Two of my babies have one lump, one has two, and one has many multiple lumps. The one with multiple lumps seems crippled by them and doesn't crawl normally.

Not sure I can post a pic... the skin looks normal over the lumps. Eyes are bright and clear. None are eating.

Thanks for any ideas.
