    Question When should my Ball Python Poop?

    Hey all

    I've had my male BP, Samson, for about 3 weeks now and he's been fed twice.

    Problem I've got is that I've not seen him poop, nor have I had to clean up any poop since I got him although I recall cleaning something that I thought was poop a few days after I got him, but nothing since.

    I put him in the bath a week ago with an inch or two of mild warm water to give him some exercise and he did take a pee and push out a couple of white blobs which I now know were urates (i think this is what it's called). But no poop...

    I've read somewhere that they'd poop maybe 3-4 days from eating (could be wrong).

    Can anyone out there give me any info on this
    How often and how quick do BP's take a dump?

    Don't worry, my Balls poop probably every 3-4 weeks. I would honestly only start worrying if you get to around week 8 or so. Other then that, they pretty much go when they want to go.

    My BPs poop about once a month, sometimes more, sometimes less. I like it when they do it more, because it's not as big. I mean, for real. .HUGE poops.

    Re: When should my Ball Python Poop?

    Hey thanks for the quick replies.

    Jenn - Samson has a half coconut hide which he loves, also it is easy to get to him if I want to take him out, simply lift the coconut and there he is I take him out every couple of days this way and always make a point of checking if he's done his business.

    Seeing as experience tells you that they'd drop one every month or so says I'm being a little premature in my concerns...

    I'll be happy once he does, I don't fancy having a constipated ball

    He'll probably drop a real fatty for me now, he's just about to shed so with a little luck he'll be excited and squeeze one out into his shed

    BTW Skoalbasher, why did you name your Spider after me.. he he...

    No doubt, it's almost unbelievable. I thought a large dog had snuck into my BP's enclosure and played a trick on me.
