last night when my snake finished eating she was rubbing her face up and down her vine all along it and was yawning i thought she was going to shed so i sat around for ages watching and she just kept on doing this so i went to bed and this morning still no shed.

so now im thinking is it cause she is itchy maybe from mites or something?
 
..she might just be adjusting her jawline after a meal...unless u see her soaking herself in her waterbowl, then thers a possibility of mites...
 
Could be what jasontini said or it could be trying to get rid of the smell of rat on its mouth/face..Or it could be sore somewhere, id be checking inside its mouth, look for a rash, or red and rore looking inside its mouth. The rubbing and yawning as u described is what my diamond done a while back, i took him to the vet and found he had mouth rot, can be fixed with a course of antibiotics. Could be lots of things, something simple, better to be safe then sorry though.

she wasnt going into the water bowl maybe just adjusting her jaw after she finished 'scratching' herself just just went to sleep
