Make sure your temps are correct hotside and coolside . Dont handle the snake for 4-5 days and see where you stand . Was your prey item larger than the snakes mid body? Did the snake possibly suffer any trauma that could have caused the lump?

I checked on her today, and the lump is almost gone... I think it was like a pinch, or some kinda bump..... She will stay in her cage :-/

Sounds good . Sometimes this can happen to imports being bacterial . As well as a meal being to large . Snakes get gas too and can be a cause of regurgitation .To much gas has to be dispelled by some manner . In the digestive process a large meal can cause a by product which is bloating. Siblings should be fed at a very slow rate to avoid this problem.
