Advice needed - Australian Woma

[sophiedufort]

Ok, here I post again, this time about a puzzling situation, and I need informed advice, please.

As some of you may know, I bought an Australian woma python not long ago. The breeder told me that she is about six months old, but I suspect she's older, as she is almost three feet long. I wanted a woma, so I basically picked the first and only that was available online at the time. I know, I know, that's not how you buy snakes, but I did it.

She's a beautiful girl, and had a ferocious appetite from the beginning (of course, we didn't feed her right away, she ate within a week of her arrival). Very gentle too when handled, great temperament.

She has her own enclosure, 20 gallons, hides, a sand pit (which she doesn't use, although she's a burrowing snake), water bowl, a tree branch that she rests on every now and then. Humidity is about 50%, which is more than enough for a woma, temperature - same as in the room, low 80s. She doesn't need more than that either, I read about it in several care sheets.

She ate very well until last week, only too eager to hunt and swallow her prey. Active too, very inquisitive and fearless. Not in contact with any of our other snakes. We were not taking her out much, and not at all in the past couple of days.

So, all was going well, but for the past 3 days she seems to be very lethargic and weak. She sleeps a lot and stopped exploring. We decided not to handle her at all, we just check on her every now and then, and we are worried. Could she be shedding? She doesn't look dull, but with her colors it is hard to tell. If not exposed to a full spectrum light, her colors are not standing out at all.

If she is lethargic because of stress, then I have no clue what may have caused it.

Any advice?
