Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
This is regarding Cuddles. This being a bit more urgent, it is separate.
Last night she got a regular meal. About 25g and slightly bigger than her body at thickest. The usual. She currently is about 280g.
Last night and hour after she is sitting in the same position. Alive and alert. Looked at me through the glass, but still sat there.
This morning I woke up and checked on her. Same place, same response.
Could this be impaction? Maybe grabbed some substrate with the food? Don't recall seeing anything.
What else could the issue be?
This is her on the cold side. I do not want to interfere with her too much.

Another picture w/o the glass. Still alive, turning to looking at movement and breathing, not as much.
Still poking at the paper towel that had the rat (fuzzy) on it.

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
Update:
I went to do my morning routine. 15 mins later, she's on top of her log.
5 mins later, she's moving into her mid-cage (favorite) hide.
What?

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
What substrate is that. Looks far from ideal - looks like pine shavings?

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
Looks like aspen to me, although kiln dried pine wiuld be fine too.
Sounds like your snake was just taking a break before moving to his retreat.

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
It is aspen.
Would the scent of the rat on the towel be reason for her to stay around?

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
...who knows. It was comfortable and didn't move until it wanted to.

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
Ah, aspen looks nothing like that over here. Yes kiln dried line is fine - its the texture of the shavings I don't like. I wouldn't put any snake of mine on material like that!

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
That aspen is actually a bit better than the "snake" branded stuff. Less sharp.

Re: Help - Woma Python not moving after meal
The one thing I do know is that her tunnels (where not pushed aside) hold up over time. I did try sani-chips with her a while back, but didn't seem to work out as well. Can't recall.

I guess? Looks like splintered wood rather than shavings.

The aspen we get here is like hay. Really thin long strands. Great for burrowing species as it really holds its shape when tunneled into.
