Tumors do happen in snakes. I dont know why you didnt take it to the vet immidiately!
PS..Im not calling you an irresponsible owner, I'm sure you can keep snakes well. But when it comes to health issues, I never sit it on it. I'd imagine it took more than a day for this "tumor" to grow...
Good luck
