    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Small lumps on side of RTB

I have recently adopted a 6 year old Albino Red Tail Boa. The other night I noticed she had many small lumps running along both of her sides. Her skin felt loose and the lumps could be easily moved. Has anyone encountered something like this before? I need some ideas as what it could be or if she should see a vet.

I may be mistaken, but I vaguely recall reading about some sort of parasite that manifests as lumps like that, but again, I VAGUELY remember something of the sort and could be mistaken.

Your best bet is to find a good reptile vet and bring her in.
 
I recall something about parasite as well but I cannot remember anything else at the moment. Also, a lot of times 'squishy' bumps are tumors which RTBs can get.

I'd say a vet is the way to go, good luck!
