Sand boas will occasionally do the exact same thing if you startle them. If you move to quickly or touch them when/where they're not expecting it, sometimes they'll do a mock strike (looks kind of like a spasm) and then "go flat" to make themselves appear larger and stay that way for several minutes.
It's possible your snake was just on edge from being somewhere she wasn't familiar with (out and about in your house), so when you put her back in her cage the slightest thing scared her and made her react that way. I don't know much about pythons, though, if this behavior normally occurs in them.
The fact that she ate no problem indicates she's probably fine, but if you already made an appointment for the vet, that certainly can't hurt if you're genuinely worried about her.
