    I'm concerned with the way larger area looks. Doesn't look like a normal gravid female to me. I'd love to see a photo with the snake stretched out, please.

    Apparently she has defeated once. It's possible there's an impaction and the poo she passed was below the impaction. Not having eaten for 2 weeks isn't unusual and within normal expectations for a snake adjusting to captivity.

    Difficult to say anything without some more pictures.
