Savanna --> Belly Up

Don't be too alarmed, she isn't dead, just doing strange things and I am a little worried as i am not sure it's normal...

When i woke up one day Savanna was 'sleeping' behind her hide with half of her body facing the right way up and the other half with her belly to the roof...

Here are some pictures:

Don't worry, some snakes tend to do this from time to time.

she got a feed on Saturday, 2x20(ish)gm fuzzy rats... I'd say that might be why she's being odd

she is a funny girl

My Bredli does that sometimes, mostly after a feed. But he straightens himself out after a while.

Yeah a few of mine do it post feed too.
They also sometimes end up in that position when they wedge themselves into a tight space.
