Can someone help identify this?
2 Attachment(s)
I will do my best to describe this. This "growth" is on the underside of the mouth of my Python. She is about two years old, and the growth was not there last week. It is a swelling that is hard when you touch it. At the top of the swelling it looks like there is a scab. There are three more much smaller scabs toward the front of the mouth. There is no mouth rot, and I do not see any evidence of parasites, mites, etc in the cage. The snake is in a rack with five other snakes and none of the other snakes have a problem. I do not feed live prey. There is some old dead skin in the area, which is hard to get off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Photos attached. Not the best quality but the best I could do with one hand.

lol,yeah slightly.well i wish i could help you out..it look like it may come down with shed...keep us posted after she does so.

There appears to be a raised line coming from the scab closest to the snout. Maybe some sort of worm? Its hard to tell from pics. If you don't have anybody local to look at her I would take her to a vet. If it gets worse it may cause problems with her feeding. Best of luck, I hope it isn't to serious.

Yeah. The pictures are hard to see. Its hard to describe too. There really aren't any herp vets here that I know of either. Any one know of someone in this area?
