    Hot spot is to cool. 85 to 88 degrees is not warm enough, esp. if the snake is trying to digest a large meal.

    And where do you measure your hot spot ? Directly above the heat tape (as you should) ? Or on top of the substrate?

    She could be used to less substrate (when you had her on paper) and was closer to the heat then, than she is now.

    Make sure the heat is at least 90, up to 92, right above the heat (under substrate) and then make sure the substrate isn't to thick, so she doesn't have to burrow down to much to get warm.

    If the heat was on your lower range of 85 , possibly less on top of substrate, it wasn't in the safe range for digesting a large meal..
