Strange feed bump?

Before I even start, I just want to let you all that YES, I do realize that it's not healthy to mess with your snake right after feeding, BUT I didnt do anything that would harm him. I snapped a couple pictures because I'm curious as to if this is normal.

Now for the pictures/question. I just fed my normal corn, who's about 1.5 years old. He's always been a great feeder, and I've never had any issue with his feeding. Sometimes he'll refuse during a shed, sometimes he wont, it all depends. But his feeding response is usually always on spot, and he shows down anything I give him. But today, after I fed him, I noticed that his belly was protruding in an odd way. I noticed it before during his last meal, but I thought maybe it was due to the shape of the mouse. This feed, I decided to find the best shaped mouse I could, just to compare, and it seems like it didnt help. I was just curious to see if anyone has had this issue before, and if it even is an issue!?

Here's a picture of what it looks like.

As you can see from this picture, he looks normal when flat, which makes me wonder if I'm just being paranoid.

Any and all opinions are welcome! Thanks!
 
Its probably just a leg poking out or something. I bet you anything it will be a perfectly normal feeding bump in the morning :)
 
I had the same though

I was leaning towards the same thing. A friend's corn had the same bump and it was simply the mouse sticking out a bit more than usual. As Tula said, it became a normal feeding bump in the next day or two.
