My adult male red African House snake has developed a hard swelling at about 1/3 back from his head. It looks similar to when a snake has eaten a large meal (it's a little smaller than golf ball size) but he hasn't eaten in a month. He's housed on paper towels, so I don't think it's impaction. I'll be taking him to the vet next week but I was hoping to have some ideas to share with the vet to point him/her in the right direction and aid diagnosis.

I'll try to post a pic today to show what I'm talking about.
Thanks,
Lora
