I thought this female was gravid but she never gave birth despite showing all the signs. I have started feeding her again, but she still regularly leans like in the photo. Is this normal?! I've never had a boa lean like this unless she was gravid.
I'm worried she may have retained the babies?! She would be over 180 days POS if she was gravid, and she has shed twice since then.

Also, she has never been the friendliest of snakes, but never nasty, but the other day whilst moving her she really struggled and then bit me on my shoulder.

Any input would be appreciated as I'm starting to get worried about her as she is definately not quite right.
