as James said, it is difficult to tell what's going on without a picture
some other info could also help, if a photo is not do-able
such as:
how recent does the injury look
is there any swelling around it
that "flat " area - does it surround the injury, or if not - how close is it
and how far into the body is it "flat"
specifics can help, when there's no picture to look at
thanks for being kind to snakes
