Hy my corn has not eaten in 5 weeks then I noticed near bottom of his tail squidgy looking lumps took him to the vets and she said she wasn't sure so gave me a tub of Reptoboost powder to bath him in it's an electrolyte probiotic drink for snakes I'm just wandering now if it's just fatty lumps as he was eating 1 extra large mouse every 4-5 days he is around 5 ft and is 8 he is lively and recently had a complete full shed anyone know what to do ?

Wow, if he was eating an x-large mouse every 4 - 5 days then it won't be surprising if he does have fatty lumps. My adults either have a medium mouse every 10 days or a large every fortnight, nothing bigger. Do you know how much he weighs?

It's hard to tell what the squidgy lumps might be. Photos might help. You say he hasn't eaten for 5 weeks. Is he more active than usual?
