One of my big fulicas have a little bump in the middle of his eyestalk. I noted it today. The stalk seems a bit more heavy as usual. The bump have no different color.
What could it be? |

Can he still pull the eye in normally?
If you could get a picture of it, that'd be great.

A bump could be a scar, parasite, infection or just a squatted tentacle. There may be more to it, but that is what generally comes to mind. P.S. Not to sound like a nitpicker, but the word is spelt as "bump".  |

Thanks!! last night, the bumP :-) was gone. I made pictures, so if it will appear again, i will show them. But, hopefully it keeps away
Cashell, thank you that you alerts on my spelling mistake. I appreciate that. But i am afraid, its not my only mistake, you can keep on going with my threats. I'm not a native speaker and also dyslexic. at school I was very bad in english. this is the very first time I have English communication on this level. So unfortunately a mistake can not be avoided.

i wouldn't worry. Snails do all sorts of funky things with their eyestalks it's normal, i see thing like this from time to time and eyestalks with a right angled bend in and all sorts  if it's not permenant it's nothing to worry about |

you're right, the bump disappeared and if you pay attention to it, each snail have from time to time bumps ore stranges things with their eyestalks. sometimes, during their sleep: one stalk is standing and the other one is very limp, hanging down his face. it looks funmy!
