If I were you, I would find someone more knowledgeable who can talk to you locally. Like a vet.
There has been some confusion about what really happened all along with this poor critter. Like I said, it wasn't mine when it allegedly got bitten - I came along some 2-3 months afterward, rescued it and dashed it straight to vet : first off we were told by the little kid whose snake it was was that it was bitten by another of the enclosure occupants (there were three corns in a very small enclosure ) - later on the story was changed to "all the corns had ticks but mommy got rid of them". So we just don't know what the real story is. But maybe it wasn't bitten at all and the growing tumor caused everything? I really don't know, but I'm going to ask the vet that on Monday.
