Pied balled up
This morning I pulled my pied girl's tub out and lifted the hide off her and saw this.. Any ideas on what this does or doesn't mean?

Re: Pied balled up
Have you noticed any signs of a respiratory problem? (Wheezing, heaving , bubbles, etc) Has she defecated normally recently? Could be a intestinal problem, however. This behavior is most common with gravid snakes, is that a possibility?

Well, no real signs of illness that I can see or hear. I recently re- paired her with my male pied bc the timeline that I had for her didn't seem to pan out with a ovulation or her getting bigger. They locked last on 7-2-15 . But have been breeding since about last March 2015. 41 qt tub. ambient temp 84f hot spot 91f humidity is varying between 59%- 69%. She doesn't and hasn't had her regular medium rat since the past 3 or 4 feedings. She has taken smaller meals the past 2 feeds. Her weight is 1760gms.

Well. I can't say for sure so I could be wrong (Aaron is the ball genius) buut I dont think her sitting that way means anything. When my female was "building" she laid like this.

Re: Pied balled up
Thanks LB! I think we are on track now. Probably building, or gravid, or ? She really has had a change in her appetite and no bowel activity to speak of in a month or more. Urates and urine , yes.

Re: Pied balled up
I showed Aaron the picture and he says maybe building or growing but since every snake is different its hard to say for sure. Its not health related or anything.
Keep an eye out for an ovulation or a POS

It doesn't mean a lot as Lori said. I doubt it's really anything now that I re-read your post. She was most likely balled up tightly under her hide and pulling it off left her in an odd position.
Hopefully it's more but as of right now I wouldn't count on anything!
