My one has never had anything like this, and i've never heard anything about it before, you would think if all olives got it, it would be fairly well known about, but im no expert...
when you put some photos up im sure some people will have some ideas on what it is

sounds like skin worms

i couldnt open the picture but it sounds like skin worms they live just under the skin of snakes, you can usually just nick the skin between the scales and squeeze them out!! (if that is what it is)

Vet straight away... So my BHP when i bought him had similar but they were rock solid. I knew they were there when i bought him, i just thought it was scar tissue. Turnes out (after sample was taken) that they are a form of malignant cyst. So basically the rep specialist told be that cysts can move into the blood stream if not taken out (not good if it does that, serious health problems) but because these were hard they arr not a problem.

They may be cysts, they may be worms as has been suggested but would be best to set your mind at ease and get them checked out and analyzed.

ive never treated skin worm with medication i have only seen them been cut out (usually only wild caught animals have them) i dont know how worming would work as they are not intestinal worms id get a pro to have a look - they may not end up being worms. as much as everyone hates vet bills id take my animals to the vet more readily than i take myself to the doctors! lol

I wormed her and the bumps went away

I found the bumps again there are only small but when i touch them the get bigger like there is air under the sjin
