An infection could possibly kill her in that time frame, as well as lead to the regurgitation and the intense pain that might prompt her to bite herself.

So I guess my first guess would be an infection, and it sounds like an infection of the ovaducts might be a good guess. But I would still get your other snake checked out.
they are increasingly thought of as being carriers or the natural reservoir (two different things) of IBD....they can also be asymptomatic as that is the criteria of being a carrier or reservoir of a pathogen. Therefore there is the chance that no symptoms of IBD would have shown themselves...

Not all parasites manifest with physical/outward symptoms....however more likely than not the necropsy and organs would show signs of parasites directly.
