Hey i was looking at one of my snakes i just got, and between her nostrils theres like a bump i guess you could say. its just raised, she doesnt seem to be bothered by it or anything. but i was wondering if this could be a problem or maybe its nothing. its really hard to get a pic of it because she moves so much. but i can try if someone wants to try to help me, thanks guys.!

How old is she? Could be the egg caruncle?
