My corn snake had a weird cyst/thing below his vent. (snake butt). It burst and he died so I had him skeletonized for my classroom. As I was articulating him (putting the bones together and posing them) I noticed this abnormality right around where that growth had burst! I'm pretty sure it's bone cancer but somebody better versed in bones may correct me. Pretty cool looking though!

Bone cancer is extremely painful. I can never forget the image of the skull of a person suffering from bone cancer. One of the few things that makes me speechless
