A specialist exotics vet would spot an impaction a million miles away if there was a lump as everyone on here thought it straight away, first thing to come to mind. Did you go to a reptile specialist?
What kind of lump though, just a general swelling of that area or an actual lump protruding from only a certain part of the body? A picture would be good, you can upload them to photobucket and post them on here as it could be anything from carrying eggs to a flesh wound but for a vet to find nothing when clearly there is a lump is a bit rubbish of them. |

Sounds like it might be a blockage preventing him from pooping (and also ruining his appetite) |
