I have my fingers crossed, one of my coastals that i have had since a hatchy had a chicken egg sized lump show up 2/3rd's of the way down his body grew very quickly as well. Xrays showed a large mass of tissue and FNA some freaky cells and a lot of bacteria. So we went in yesterday nice stressful couple of hours and it was certainly freaky, ended up consisting of and surrounding and infiltrating the surroundings of his right kidney. Poor bugger so we have removed it and as much of the nasty very friable tissue we could get and sutured him up. Anaesthetic was beautiful and a quick wake up. Still kicking strong this morning although i cant imagine he is happy with me. So fingers are crossed to hope he recovers well and it doesnt come back. I did take some photos, which i will upload this arvo unfortunately missed a lot of the good stuff as it got suddenly much more interesting when we found it was kidney with blood vessels and ureters and the likes. Sad for a just a 4 year old snake though.
oh i have one photo i took with my phone when he woke up and was in his hot box.
