should i worry
hey i just walked in my room and saw my ball python kind of chewing with her mouth almost all the way open, is she just readjusting her jaws she ate a little less than 72 hours ago and the rat pinky was the biggest she has eaten yet but it was still smaller than her stomach. my husbandry meets the care sheets requirements

Yawning maybe? When you say chewing that confuses me. I've never seen a snake chew... They do yawn and stretch their jaws sometimes. Was it just one quick one or did it go on for longer than that?

i walked in my room and her mouth was almost all the way open and then she opened it a little more but not quite all the way then she shut it im not sure if she shut her mouth cause i walked in or if she was done yawning, i've never seen her stare at the top of her aquarium like she has a RI i might just be paranoid cause for 5 days my night time low temp on cool side was 74 degrees but warm side was 84 and hot spot 89 could she get sick from those conditions?

No, those temps aren't too much lower than recommended and IMO not low enough to cause your bp to get sick after a few days. I think you just witnessed your first snake yawn. Sounds like nothing to worry about at all...
