| Any chance of a picture, it may help, have you had it for 8 weeks or did the lump appear after you got it? i'd say a trip to the vets just to set your mind at ease. |

Constipation? - Have you seen much poo recently?
If not then try a luke warm bath and a massage.

a bath usually works, 1-2" of luke warm water in the bath if it's and adult, or 1-2cms in a washing up bowl or in the sink if it's a hatchling. BLOCK OFF THE OVERFLOW!! or you migt lose him/her down it. let it swim for 10 mins or so then pop it into a towel (a nice warm one would probably be appreciated  ) and it work it's way through the towel to dry off.
welcome to the forum btw, and like SC says pics are always helpful  |

| Is the lump between the vent and the tip od the tail? My snake had a bulge level with her vent on the side of her body years ago before i got her. It was drained by the vet. There is a small lump there still. If you want i can get some pic's up so you can compare it? |

| That's how i read it as well matty, as in between the vent and the tail tip, otherwise i would suggest a luke warm bath. |
