ball python Cloaca

[Abby]

My ball python has been opening its cloaca lately and I don't know if I should worry about it. I think the snake is a girl, but I am not sure. It also hasn't been with another snake in 6 or 7 months. It is 29 1/2 inches long. Please reply with info about if I should worry!

No, she does it sometimes if you just pick her up, sometimes she does it when she is hangin' out in her cage.
