That snake is a sibling to the one I had which three months ago suffered from fatty tumors. I did not notice the inflammation from the link your provided as the pic was blurred, but now that I see this pic, your snake has what mine started to have, fatty tumors. I hope it is not the same condition but within weeks, my snake had a dozen and I froze it. Sorry. Perhaps a genetic thing? Hopefully something else like a swollen venom gland or other type of infection?
