Draining a lump

[Selkielass]

He is a he... isn't he?

Im never sure of my guesses.

[ProXimuS]

Looks like a male to me...but I'd definitely like to see what others say, since I'm still new..

[Steveo]

I say male too, but I'm no expert...

[kibakiba]

Definitely male.

[Invisible Snake]

Yes definitely male, he's packing lol. He looks great you did an awesome job with him, I'm glad he found you.

Came across this thread at another forum and had to link to it!
Biopsied one of my Basins today in Corallus Discussion Forumhe initial photo of the lump looks *exactly* like Crankys lump aside from scale structure and coloration. (Diff species here.)

This poster has far more medical experiences and resources at his disposal, and his incision is many times larger than I dared (He used local anesthetic and stitched up the incision.) but the cause of the lump similar to Cranky's- a thorn or splinter causing irritation beneath the skin.

Brilliant pictures- I wish mine were a fraction as good at showing what was happening.

is that a northern ribbon? if so, i'm very jealous. i've never even seen one back in MI.

Well hello Nate! Nice to see you on the forum. Mike recently had a lump on one of his snakes that ended up having a parasite in it. I knew as soon as he told me about the lump what it was. I told him to look on the forum for info about it because many members have had snakes with lumps.
