My BP is...squishy?
Today when I got home from work, I checked on my ball python, Eden. I haven't handled her since she ate a small rat about 2 days ago. I noticed she was in shed so I picked her up to inspect her and see how she was feeling and she instantly wrapped around my hand like normal and got active. However I noticed that her usually taught and muscular stomach was very pudgy and squishy... almost like she could be bloated... Is this something to be concerned about?

Will take a pic soon  I'm misting her 2x daily and soaking her once a day.

Why? Particularly, why are you soaking her?
If you're worried about humidity levels, make her a humid hide, but you don't need to soak her every day.
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

Re: My BP is...squishy?
I heard it helps them poop and makes them feel better. We fill a small container with water and supervise them while they swim for about 10 minutes. Her cage has wire mesh windows on the top and sides and a plastic clear front for viewing. She has Aspen for bedding and a log hide
