NPR with growth/swellinn

[IMG]My hypo Northern Pacific rattler, Dolly, has a growth or swelling , just below

her right eye. She is otherwise healthy, alert, and kept alone in her own cage. Has gone off her feed lately, but

that is not unusual for her. She eats like a pig for a while, then stops for a while.

Anybody seen this before? If so, what should I do? Pic attached; you can see

the swelling below the right eye.[/IMG]

on a few older vipers. Do you know how old the snake is? The best course of action is to have it examined by a herp vet if possible.

No, Tim, I don't know exactly how old she is. She dropped a rattle with 13 links shortly after I I bought her, so she is no spring chicken.
