Got herself stuck!

I recently put some cave wall backing stuff in my snakes viv and it was going well till she missed a meal due to getting herself stuck down the back of it where the space for wires is.
There were openings at the top of it but i have turned them around now so that the openings are at the bottom, this way she can get out if she gets into there.
Only thing now is that she has decided that this is the most comfortable hide out space. She uses the opening on the piece at the cool end of the viv and due to this her last meal took 3/4 days to digest as oppose to the usual 1.5/2 days.
All her current hides are small enough to feel secure in and she has plenty of them.
Is this going to be bad for her if it continues or is it nothing to worry about?
 
I have tried the wall structure in 3 different occasions with 3 different types of snakes and they ALL got in behind it. Snakes love tight spaces..so I have decided it was much more trouble than it was worth and taken them out all 3 times.
 
I took it out it was driving me crazy! Having to peel it away from the back of the viv every time and winding my snake up whilst doing so just did not seem worth the trouble! Plus, her meal eventually fully digested 6 days after her feed due to her being curled up at the cool end of the viv! Not good! At least no regurg tho and she seems happy enough now gettin back to her old self.
Thanks, Paul
