Simon,
. I have kept Carpet Pythons for awhile and I used to breed them. I never saw any strange coiling behaviour from any of my Carpets. I do not think it has anything to do with breeding. Healthy Carpet Pythons can go a long time without eating but 11 months is too long. The fact that she has not eaten for 11 months and exhibits strange behaviour indicates the need for a visit to a good herp vet. You should keep her and the male that mated with her away from all of your other snakes.
