    Awful noise and opened mouth?

    Hey everyone,

    I am very new to snakes, I have my girl since 2 weeks. She is 115gr only. I feed her fuzzies 2 times a week, but soon I'll upgrade to bigger mice once a week. She is in a plastic tank, humidity 44%, temp is between 24-30. Clean water bowl, newspaper substrate. Nothing else. She is nice, active, taming down very well, tongue flickers. She eats well as well.

    Today I suddenly heard a very awful noise, like gurgling or choking or farting and burping, I am not sure how it is the best to describe. I immediately opened the cage, and she was there, keeping her neck up a bit, nothing unnatural position, but just opened mouth, like if she mis-swallowed something. I fed her 3 days ago.

    Few seconds later it stopped. She just looked at me like normal.

    I investigated the cage, I found poo, white poo, and (imo) pee. Didn't look like puke at all to me. I'll attach some pictures, just to be sure.
    Sometimes she is in weird positions, I'll also attach a picture. I am very paranoid, I've already read a lot about illnesses like IBD etc, I hope she is fine.

    Is this bad? Is that the sign of an illness or incorrect feeding? Please someone experienced tell me she is ok!
    Thank you in advance,
    M.
