Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can someone help identify this?
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.

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.
