Question Broken ribs

Hello, guys.
My carpet python sleep in a nest on branches. The nest is a wood box, the floor of a box has 3 planks to let poop go down (sometimes she can do that).
She lives like that for many years.
Somehow yesterday she manages to explore cracks between planks in her nest.
She has stuck!!! I got a knife and release her. She looked panicked. I saw on her side a big (middle part) ball-shaped dent.
I rebuilt the floor of her nest already.

Tonight, I scratched her terrarium with a needle to imitate a rodent, and she appeared out of her nest to check.
Tonight I can see her out of her nest. I suppose it is a good sign..
I don't want to handle her to prevent hurting her.

Could she break her ribs ?
Can I feed her or should I wait ? If so how much ?
