That looks like an abscess to me. Snakes do not make liquid puss. So if they get a small trauma (splinter, cut, etc) the white blood cells form a caseous cheesy chunk that can't go anywhere. It probably is painful, like a pimple that you can't pop. I would have a vet lance it under a local anesthetic.
It could also be something more serious like a tumor. Is that a hondo? Definitely worth a trip to the vet IMHO.
Cheers
