    Boa Digestion

    How long do your RTBs usually take between eating and pooping? I have two 09s in a 20g tank (for now) and I keep a constant eye on temps and humidity. Before they had big constipation problems. Once I really started keeping their conditions perfect they pooped two weeks in a row. Now they're back to not pooping. Any help?

    Boas need humidity to defecate. This is why you'll see a lot of them go in their water bowl to leave the mess. I usually wait until they actually fully digest the meal and defecate it to feed again. Usually 10-14 days is a good time line.

    I keep the humidity right on the money usually so I guess I'll just wait it out. One has pooped since I made the thread.
