My young boa has a swollen abdomen and is not eating?

My young boa has not eaten in several weeks and has a swelling in her abdomen. She is in a very long shed cycle and otherwise seems normal. Her last meal was a larger hopper but she ate it with no issues.

If you feel right above the vent, does there feel like there's a hard urate? Does the swelled area feel hard or squishy? Does it seem to move within her somewhat or is it fixed in place?
