To anyone who might be able to help...
I noticed when I came home today that my RTB has a round bump on the tip of his nose. I'm scared and worried. Does anyone know what it could be?....

I guess it could be a nose rub.

Do you have any pictures? What type of enclosure do you keep boa in?
Do you have hides in his enclosure? How big is your boa?
