    I think a "soak" (& swim, but only with your support in shallow water) is a good idea but keep in mind that what feels like mildly warm water to us (humans) will be too
    hot for your snake. We're 98.6* so if it feels warm, the water is 100* or so...my point is, read the water temperature if you do this before stressing your snake further.
    You want water to be about 86*. The glob in your photo appears to be some hard urates, & yes, they can cause a blockage or even a prolapse. A soak should help your
    snake to get better hydrated (what humidity have you been keeping her at???) and the swimming motion can help her expel feces if she is backed up some. About 30
    minutes should help, but you might have to repeat this daily, depending on the "outcome". Hoping you won't need a vet...but too soon to tell.
