Did the vet tell you whether or not the mass was organ based or appeared to be something like impaction? Has she been passing waste? What are the enclosure temperatures? What was she eating before this? If it is impaction, you can try soaking or swimming her in 85ºF water (make sure it’s not too deep), and Snake Discovery has a video on vibration therapy that can be found here:

If the lump is not impaction, or if it is too severe, your snake may need surgery or euthanasia. Not eating for 3+ weeks and a mass of that size that continues to grow is very much not something that anyone here can help with and needs specialist care.

We’re missing a lot of info here.

Also are you also saying that you are moving a snake over borders? Because that’s another huge issue
