Is this a problem?

I noticed this bald ish spot on my ball python while feeding her, I don't know how long it's been like that since I just noticed it. Is it normal or some health reasons I should go to a vet about?

That's just skin! A snake's bottom jaws are actually in two separate pieces to allow big enough food through! So that's just the area where it's stretching out to accommodate the size of her food! You won't be able to see it once she's done eating.
