Maybe it should change to held status.

This is intentional. I changed paralysis to stop constriction as it relaxes to muscles, but turning a constrictor into stone while it's already tight in place makes the constrictee's situation even worse.

While that makes sense, "The ball python constricts you" implies that the monster is actively doing something (which it isn't), and makes this look like an oversight. Perhaps change the message for petrified monsters to something like "You struggle against the petrified ball python"? Or even just "The petrified ball python (constricts|is constricting) you".
