What in the world is this? (Warning gross image)

[Lord Sorril]

My main concern was whether it’s my rodents. I guess you can’t know for sure, but I hatched this guy myself and he has eaten nothing but rodent pro f/t rats since hatching out of the egg. I’ve got hundreds of dollars of rodent pro rats in the freezer and would be upset if they were giving my snakes tape worms.

Do let us know if you see any other oddities.
I'm still leaning against the parasite diagnosis myself, but, in the event I was wrong: I do recommend that you keep your hands clean post-handling...
You do not want to end up a 'world's first' like this woman:
