Re: My snake has an inflammed growth after rat bite. Help!
This bp looks like he isn't big enough to handle rats to me. In any case the injury is severe bc it involves the airway and it appears infected. Only a vet will be able to correct this. Good luck. The bp is having difficulty breathing bc the swelling and infection is directly over his right nostril.

I was expecting a pgoto of the other end with the vent.
That is above the heatpit. Not a goot area to get bit.
Follow Debs advice ASAP.

Just reiterating what others are saying. Looks like a coagulative necrotic region to me. Vet asap. Tell them you are on a budget. Sometimes they can take pity on you and do the work cheaper.

Invasive surgery isn't likely but the animal definitely needs vet care and antibiotics ASAP, otherwise that infection will go septic and kill your snake.

Yikes... Vet ASAP. If you get him in before the infection spread elsewhere the bill will probably still be reasonable. You really don't want to wait though.
