It may not be hot enough that it did not digest it.

If you just fed your snake yesterday, how could the lump have been there for a month? If you just fed him yesterday then the lump is normal if it's a lump from a month ago then there's a problem, your best bet would be to see a vet because I've never heard of a snake having a food lump for a month. An undigested rabbit would certainly be rotten in his stomach after a month and I would guess could cause serious health risks such as infection.

i did take him to the vet and he said wait till it moves on its own or until he regurgatates.im sorry i exaggarated the time.i no that will get a wrong answer.
