well i couldnt get the pictures up yesterday because she still hadnt fully digested her rat and then i look today and the lump was gone and she had went to the bathroom as well, but she was sitting right in it and of course i changed her newspaper. and here are a couple pics of what her mouth looks like now.

Looks great, Hopefully this doesn't come back. Is it totally gone? And did it heal smooth?
The only reason I ask is a breeder friend of mine had a similar problem with his retic and when it healed it left a "scar" that came out about 2-3cm and every time the snake rubbed his face it aggravated him and he kept re-opening it.
It was finally solved by cutting off the "lump" and letting it heal smooth.
