Best of luck!!! Never nice to have to go through anything like this, even if it turns out to be nothing which we're all hoping it wont.

By the way... nice post on the Herald Sun the other day defending snakes/pythons and thier owners!!!!

Thanks It was a long post on the Herald Sun site, but I felt someone needed to say something, as unfortunately many people are tarred with the same brush when people read these kinds of stories.

I'll PM it to you, I might get in trouble if I post a link to it here

Nothing is a given at this point. Even in the worst case, there is still a good chance he will resume eating on his own. He still has his heat-sensing pits so a warm meal might be just the ticket. Once food is even just in the mouth, some molecules will make their way into the Jacobsen’s organ pits, hopefully sufficient to stimulate normal swallowing reflex.

He is fortunate to be alive because of you. He is fortunate have good body condition and health going into a possible operation because of you. He will continue to be fortunate, irrespective of the outcome, because you. You, like him, are a fighter. And you will not give up on his opportunity to life without trying every avenue first.

I am thinking of you and feel for you. I also have a lot of faith in you!

Thanks for your kind words Blue you made a good point about the heat sensing pits and all. This particular snake is so laid back he'd probably let me open his mouth and the put the rat in there lol (although I'd have to be careful, never know when he could chose to bite even though he's never done it before)The last time he was at the vet a tool was used to open his mouth to have a look and he didn't seem to care much. When the tool was taken out of his mouth he acted like it never happened, and was stretching out towards the vet wanting to go and sit on her. She quite liked him, most people do

Who are you and why are you following me? LOL!

All went very well, I've agreed to have the mysterious lump sent Brisbane to find out what it is. The vet said it doesn't look cancerous, and showed us what it look like. Very strange! She said it was attached by a thin stalk looking thing, and when they took it off they could stretch it out and the picture she drew of it looked like a marijuana plant lol. She said they had difficulty putting him to sleep to do the procedure, but apparently he woke up well. When I got him home I realised how drunk he was when he was falling off his branches, hissing at his newspaper and couldn't figure out how to get into his hide, lol, the poor thing, it took about 7 attempts before he got in there. Despite being very confused he didn't show any aggression and behaved very well. I'm very happy that he's fine and that it doesn't look like there's anything to worry about
