Well that sounds no good. I think a trip to the vet is in order. Sounds like impaction or maybe egg binding though I don't know what the symptoms of egg binding are. But impaction is blood and hard lump in the back quarter of the reptile.
Edit: oh wow, I'm double sped. I'll just leave it like it was since obviously you guys should know I have a mental disorder

Re: Sudden weight gain and hard as a rock..
Maybe you should think about having a vet do an x-ray or ultrasound. At least let you know what it is. An impaction that big might be fatal....
Maybe a local breedeer could check for you...

If the snake was impacted, she wouldn't be eating--relax.
Intestinal impactions universally cause severe nausea.

Re: Sudden weight gain and hard as a rock..
well.. here is big momma one week later..
She is deep in shed. Got in to change her water and she was laid out nicely. first ive seen her laid out like this in about 4 days.
Im thinking... this is just one heck of a poo getting ready to blow - but will certainly keep my eye open for any changes.

Re: Sudden weight gain and hard as a rock..
Im conflicted... I can't decide whether I lean more towards eggs or one heck of an excretion. 
I really hope it is eggs tho!!! :]

Re: Sudden weight gain and hard as a rock..
well it seems the case is solved.. i guess? 
She had a nice clean shed, had a normal sized poo and seems to have returned to a more normal state. She is no longer hard as a rock, temperament hasnt gone back to normal.. but her tub did stink like the ****ens. I was gone all day so wasnt here when it all went down... maybe it was gas, lol 
anywho, pic of big momma - looking more like herself. er and pardon the slightly blurry pic. didnt want to freak her out with flash so only took one pic.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
