Weird Feeding Bump?

I know snakes are supposed to have a huge lump in their body from eating but Amber has a very weird bump compared to the previous time I've fed her. Her bump isn't a smooth subtle one. It's more like a beer belly. Her body is straight smooth and then there's a sudden curve of the feed bump.

Am I feeding her too often? She's only 6 months old. I'm feeding her every 4 days. I think it's quite accurate.

Is it abnormal? Or am I just overreacting? [Sorry I've had unsuccessful snakes lately but they just happened to die out of nowhere because they were sick or I did something that was really really minor and it harmed it. But I could be overreacting like I said.]
 
Can you take a picture of your snake and post it on here? I think the picture would give us a better chance of determining if the bump is normal or not.
 
Here's a picture of just her mid-body/stomach area. It was hard to get a picture because she's hiding in her tree and I don't want to move her or stress her since she was already fed.

It's hard to tell from that picture, but it looks like the shape of the mouse to me. My Scarlett is really slim, and when I feed her she has a perfect outline of a pinky in her midsection.

What sized mice are you feeding her?
