I have had my brown snake for over a year now and this is my first problem. She appears to be constipated. I gave her some time (more than 24 hours), and she's still swollen. What should I do?

Why do you believe she's constipated?
I can think of a number of other reasons for a snake to bulk out in the lower area of its body--anything from a potentially deadly intestinal blockage on over to simply being gravid.

She can't be gravid this early in the year, maybe she's ovulating.

Ok...that still doesn't tell me what I should do about her.

lol, is there anything physically wrong with the snake? If there's not, then there's not a problem.
