    Parasites, bacterial infection or cancer, for example.

    I've always wondered how these lumps always afflict garters.

    Re: Need urgent advice

    you're right - not very good pic
    I don't think I've ever seen anything like that white lump
    what is the texture like?
    it looks fuzzy

    Go to a vet or an experienced snakekeeper in your neighbourhood.

    Re: Need urgent advice

    I've never seen anything like this
    In the past we had some garters with little lumps. This was because the enclosure was too moist. Now we keep them very dry with a not very big waterbowl. We never had that problem since. But the lump on your ribbon is much bigger. So I'll advize you as well to go to a vet.
