    She will move when she is ready to digest.
    What is the cool side at? is the temp in the room around normal? (72 ish)
    I wouldnt worry about it really. Just double check the ambient and cool side temps and when shes ready to digest then she will move.

    thats why, the cool side should be around 72 normally. The hot side is just not needed for the snake at this time.
    I would try and get the temps down a little on that cool side, maybe move her in a basement or somewhere cooler. They need to be able to regulate their body temps with the temps in the tank so having a healthy 92 hot 80ish ambient and 72is cool side is ideal. But since she just ate I would wait to do all this for a few days.
    If you cant move her i try to get the room a little cooler, it would be best for her if the cool side can be a little lower. Just my opinion though.

    Do u have a hide on each end?...if so are both hides the same?...if not them that might be y...sometimes they prefer security and comfort over warmth...either get identical hides of they are not already identical or try to take the one from the cold end and put it at the warm end...but ahould def have identical hides...this isn't true with all bps but some are just that way.

    ok, If the UTH is regulated by a thermostat and the probe reads a good 92 at the hot spot then I would not see a need for the bulb at all. How large is the tank?
    Try removing the bulb and just having the UTH on and then read some temps and see what has changed.
