IF any one has any idea could some one please reply to this

THANKS SO MUCH...sorry i dont have a camera to take a pic

I would take her to the vet in case it's an infection of sorts.

I've had corns that would swell a bit before a shed, but nothing that serious.

How are temps and humidity in the enclosure?

Were the rats your Burm ate given to him live?

I ask because it sounds very much like your snake was bitten by his dinner. In either case, it certainly sounds as if a trip to the vet is in order.

FT, it's what's for dinner.

O he's all better now gave ME A HUGE scare,,the vet said he probably had a broken jaw and would need to be put to sleep,,but the day he was suposed to be euthanized the vet took a look and found out his jaw was still just Un Hinged from eating,to big or a frozen rat,,but hes on bed rest right now,,

gave me quite a scare,,but he's fine now
