Large lump protruding from sides

Hello again, I feed him the same rats that I was told he was eating at the pet store and they are not oversized for him. However, after feeding on weds. I noticed that he appears to have a side ways rats in him! I am unawair of how this happens or if that is even it. He swallowed the rat head first. His water bowl was not deep enough to submerge himself in; problem has been fixed. Do snakes have any problems with impaction? I can get a pic and post it if any of you might know. Thanks for the help, I can not get into a vet until monday.

Ok, the problem has revealed itself. Ikorus ate his hygrometer! I have never seen anything like this and none of the vets that I have talked to are very knowledgible. This problem is too big for me to handle my myself but I wanted to tell someone about this weird happing!
