Hi, had my little Sonny out for a handle about 30mins ago and noticed he was awful pale looking and his bottom end was really pale (so he's obviously due a shed), as I was handling him I noticed a lump, it wasn't much but it was a noticeable protrusion in his bottom. He was fed on Thursday, spent Friday in the warm end and the rest of the time in the cool end as he's an awkward little git! Lol.

Could it be that it's just a small amount of undigested pinkie? I didn't have him out long just in case.

Any help/advice is appreciated. He's about 50cm long and weighed in tonight at 16g(he was 14g last week)

I think its maybe poop too. Has he/she been since eating/digesting? You could make a luke warm very shallow bath for him/her and massage the tummy. This has helped me with a constipated snake before xx

Its very very unlikely that any of the pinkie is still solid after such a long time. it could be that he is due a poop though, before they go you can notice a bit of a chunkier bit all geared up to ruin your girlfriends wooley jumper. They can also hold off going to the toilet when they are shedding and unleash a monster either just before, during or after they actually shed.

Where about was it, underneath on the belly on the side/sides?

do you have a pic of him anyway, just out of interest, he seems light for his length xx

it could be, keep and eye on him for a couple of days and if it still there, post a pic up xx
