This is definitely pretty interesting. I haven't seen much like what you have posted & described. I seriously doubt I could offer any real useful insight on whats going on but had a few questions & thought maybe if you were able to answer maybe it trigger something to someone more experienced or at least point you in a general direction to search.

- About how big is the "abscess"? (I cant tell the size of it/the snake from the photo)
- Are there any other abnormal skin issues or additional "abscess"?
- You mentioned it was getting smaller, is it scabbing at all?
- I know you said there was no heat be is there anything else you can say about the previous enclosure? (particularly in regards to moisture/humidity/ventilation/substrate/surrounding critters)

I'm sorry to hear about the situation but thanks for sharing it. Please keep us posted on the status & let us know what the vet/test results come back with.
