It may be that you need to make sure it's getting the right size food, enough to drink and a bit more exercise so it can get it's insides moving along better. Just keep an eye on the situation and if the snake continues to have problems passing it's wastes, then I'd suggest a visit to the vet or a reassessment of it's husbandry to try and find out what's causing the backup.
I know she is eating the right size food which in this case is rat pups. I don't know for sure if she is drinking enough though. I have only seen her drinking from her bowl once. As far as the husbandry goes its 82/92 with humidity in the low 50's. A hide on each side which I never see her leave except to eat. I know she is not moving around enough, but don't know how to remedy that. I have even considered removing her hides, but I don't want her to lose that security.
