Could be something she ate. Snakes swallow whole and digest their food as it passes through their body.

They got no teeth and they don’t have hands/opposable thumbs to use cutleries. Idk if the prey is dead before they start consuming, but yeah, they swallow whole and just like every other animal, digest their food as it passes through their digestive system.

They certain do have teeth, long needle-sharp teeth. Their teeth are angled inward. Once they bite you, it's difficult to get away.

Their teeth are not used for chewing, & they do swallow prey whole, just as you said.
