BRB's behavior

Hi, I know this has been covered a million times, but does anyone know why my big female lie on her side after a meal? I have kept a lot of boids, and none have ever pulled that move!

Thanks

BT,
...I think they lie on their sides to get warm. My adult females often lie on their sides when gravid or after a big meal. The males lie on their sides much less than the females but I usually do not feed my males large meals.

Thanks Jeff. I have found BRB's very entertaining snakes. They seem to have a personality all thier own.

Thanks again.
