That looks like it could be a rather large abcess to me. I would take that snake to a herp vet asap. One of my kings wouldn't eat a while back, and it had a lump on it's side. The vet quickly diagnosed it as an abcess and surgically removed it the same day. The snake was fine and started eating again. Your snake appears to have abnormal growth closer to the throat region though, which concerns me. Best of luck! Keep us posted.
