When I got my snake out to feed last night I noticed a bump on her side near her tail. It felt soft/squishy, but a definite bump. When I let her go through my fingers I felt a smaller bump on the other side just slightly down further than the other. Both are near her bum. She seemed active and happy and very hungry.
She is my first snake, so I am not sure if this is something that I should be worried about (constipation, eggs, egg-binding, just pudgy... I have no idea!), but plan on taking her to the vet if it the swelling doesn't go down soon. Or is it something that requires emergency care?
Also, any vet recommendations for the Harrisonburg, VA area? I am willing to drive out for a good vet.
Here are some pics, although they don't show up as well on pictures as they can be felt.
