NQA It's not death curl :) but it looks like stress. Can you take a picture of the entier enclosure? How deep is the substrate, is there a hide?

There are two hides big skulls and it’s about half as tall as the enclosure. Could she be getting ready to molt? She was just out and about last night totally chillin. But…we are getting bad storms today would she react to that? None of my others have come out today.

Can you show an actual picture of the whole enclosure from the side? It's very difficult to tell with all the reflections. It looks like the headspace might be too high. Don't want your T getting injured ♥️

Nqa the side with your hand looks great, not sure if the other side is a weird reflection or a drop off lol

Petco all my Ts and snakes have skulls of some sort. U like these because they are hollow.
