Hi all,
I recently brought home a three month old female ball python--and by recently I mean about a week ago. Everything has been going well but today I notice her looking as though she's breathing very heavily and I'm wondering if she could be stressed. I'd like a second opinion before I panic and rush to a vet!

details:
-She's not making sound when she breathes and I don't see mucous; she's not hanging her mouth open either. Her sides are moving faster than normal, that's all.
-She ate two days ago as per the schedule she was on with the breeder. She ate a frozen thawed adult mouse pretty quickly, and she laid around and digested undisturbed after.
-She's in a 20gal glass tank with a lid and a red basking light. She has an under tank heater. Temp on the hot side is 90F and on the cold side 80F; both drop by a few degrees at night. I'm using paper newspaper for substrate. Humidity is at 50%.
-Right now she has two hides. One is a ceramic rock cave thing and the other is a paper towel roll. She also has a climbing tree.


The power went out today for a while and her temps dropped for a couple hours. I don't know if that alone could've caused her to stress and start breathing heavy like that? Could she still just be settling in? I haven't handled her other than to feed her in a separate tank and then put her back. Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts. As she's my first snake I want to be sure I'm taking proper care of her!
