Question
first, she was outside in the rain then I brought her inside to a tank with a heat pad. she threw up and when she used the restroom is was watery. secong she has a bump on her with no wound site. no scales are missing, it is very hard and not by her face. she used to be outside. there is nothing that i can see to remove from under her skin. please help

Answer
Hi Nadia,

the dramatic change in temperatures could cause the regurgitation and watery feces. however the lump could be something more serious. it could be a cyst which will cause no harm to your snake or a tumour.

it would be a good idea to take your snake to a vet to get the lump checked out. at the same time the vet can fully investigate whether anything else may have caused the regurge or the watery feces.

i hope this helps,

Andy
