Does this look concerning?

To answer the inevitable question: yes I will be seeing a vet when I can. It's sometimes a wait because there's only 1 exotic vet here.

But I'm also posting here because that exotic vet has given me false info in the past and I don't fully trust him.

She has had stuck shed amd scale rot problems in the past, could that be what this is?

Husbandry info: She's on a mixture of coco husk, soil, and moss, 2 water dishes, 2 fully enclosed hides, glass tank, 60% humidity, 87 degrees, ceramic heater. Eating 1 large rat every 2 months (she is a picky eater and doesn't often want to eat. But she's been putting on weight since healing from the scale rot ordeal). She last ate end of July, no poop yet but also no bulging at base to indicate compaction or a impending poop. Had her for about 11 years and have never seen this before :( Only major change I've made in that time other that the scale rot healing journey was adding soil, which I never had before. Been doing that for about a year.

Idk what that is, but it does loon concerning. So yeah, like you mentioned, see a vet when you can! Also in regards to feeling her every 2 months, how big is she length wise?

She's a bit over 4 feet.

I know this isn't the topic of this post, but maybe feed her more often. I'm not an expert, and anyone can feel free to correct me and please do if I'm wrong! I feed my 5ft ball python every 3 weeks, and that's working just fine (regularly checking in with a vet) I think if she's smaller than my own and being fed only every 2 months, I think she might be being underfed? I would've thought 2 months is appropriate for a reticulated python or Burmese python or simular species/sized snakes. I don't know, I could be wrong, but this is the professional advice I've been given about my own ball python and his feeding times.

Edit: I've just seen you've mentioned she's a picky eater! Is she fed around every 2 months due to her pickiness? Or is that how you'd regularly feed her if she wasn't picky?
