I bought her last year, and was told that she was gravid? What does this behavior/position mean?

If you have had her for a year and she did not lay eggs then she was not gravid

This behaviour, in and of itself, is not necessarily indicative of anything. If she was bred last season then there might (small chance) be sperm retention and she is building. However, she might just be passing a larger meal through her guts and shifting her body around to help it move. Or she might be in a “yoga” mood and is just stretching/contorting weirdly. I have snakes that like to sleep completely upside down (and I hate them for the heart attacks they regularly give me)

I would just keep any eye on her and see what develops

Thanks, I had the initial thought that she died, was scared for a sec until I touched her. But she also has not been taking meals since march.
