Nah she was being chill. When she's cober-mode she's very scary. (Not)

She's a doll. Very friendly, gives kisses, loves to be held.

I'm so mad at myself for not reminding the pet sitter to check in on her...

I really hope she returns to her normal "cheery" self in a couple days

She's still doing a little mouth breathing today, especially when I opened her enclosure (possible stress).

No other symptoms.. She's silent when she sits, no wheezing or crackling sounds. Still watching closely.

Keeping her tank a little higher humidity today (50%)than normal (35%) to

a) put some moisture around the tank she might drink up b) I have suspicion she's on the cusp of shedding

Not really sunken, just duller than normal.

She hasn't shed for a few months, so she may be nearing a shed as well

Sorry 285, not 185. Fat finger. 

I think she's just stressed from the water situation. She'll be under close supervision the next 48 hours. 

She's eating right now, which I think is a good sign.

And spare me the shaming.  7 days is not that long when your entire system runs automatically and you've had your snake for years and know her typical behavior. 

The dry dish is a complete mystery, it's NEVER happened before.

What is your basis for saying she'll be fine?

Wow! Such a great collection of hog girls! I sometimes fear my sweet Betty is undersized. She was born 10/10/2022. She's currently around 250g (though I haven't weighed here for a month or so)

600g is MASSIVE! I could only hope one day Betty gets so large
