Female ball resting belly up?

[DeathMetalMax]

The last time I checked on my female ball python she was resting with part of her belly face up. I was just wondering if that's something to worry about? I know she isn't gravid she's never been bred, I have never housed her with a male and I've had her since she was tiny. Any advice would be appreciated.

They sometimes lay in weird positions. Any chance she'd eaten a big meal recently? Sometimes they'll lay sideways or even upside down, maybe to relieve the pressure of undigested prey. And sometimes they're just weird.

my female spider does that from time to time i wouldn't worry. she will coil with the end of her belly/tail upside down

My spider was laying like that once when I lifted up his hide.. I immediately started crying because I thought he was dead Turns out he was just being weird. I wouldn't worry.

i do believe that females will do that when they develope follicles to get comfortable .

I have heard they do it for heat transfer as well

Doesn't sound all that crazy to me. Ball pythons will do some of the weirdest things sometimes. Might be a different story if they stay that way for more than a day and are acting different as well.

This could be, snakes will lay on their backs to avoid too much heat also.
