Well im certainly no expert, but it could be impacted? What ever it is perhaps a visit to your local vets would be a good idea.
 
When was the last time you fed her? When did she go potty last?

I would suggest a vet visit too if you are really concerned.
 
Since she did defecate after the last feeding, I wouldn't think it was impaction especially since it has been 6 months.

Glad to hear you are going to the vet. Please let us know how it goes.
 
shes at the vets now.

shes got enlarged organ they think. got to ring back at 2 to see if it is shes having xray

just hope they can do something for her
 
just rung the vets he told me its enlarged heart.

got to pick her up in few hours to show me xray and what i can do

give me few options
 
The only one I know personally of died. There have been cases of pythons swallowing prey items that were too big which injured the pericardium and sometimes the heart on the way past. It's unfortunately always fatal. The vet might try anti inflammatories...I'm sorry.
 
I would ask the vet what he recommends as the next step. If the snake hasn't eaten in six months, and the vet says the condition is untreatable, euthanasia would save your pet from a lingering death by starvation.
 
yer i am goin over there in 2 hours

he said to me when i rung that hes skin is good and she isnt weak

but i have few options hes gonna show me the xrays
