as long as she is alive she should b ok. mine do that all the time, they curle up next to there water dish and just lay there all day. the only time i c them is wen i pull them out, and at nite wen i go to bed pretty late and there out and about. so unless both my snakes are sick then urs should b ok. u mite also want to check the humidity in the tank.

A period of inactivity after meals is perfectly normal in all snakes, brb's included.

Does your snake have any hides in its enclosure? If not, be sure to provide at least one.

But don't sweat it ... make sure your boa has sufficient temps (somewhere in the 72 to 85 gradient range), has a place to hide (ideally one moist and one dry), and you'll be good to go.

Good luck.
