    Should I be worried?

    My female ball python ate two times and for those two times she didn't poop at all. After her third meal, she just let it all out and holy crap she pooped and peed. I have her on newspaper and half the newspaper was wet. My question is is that normal for a ball python for it to pee that much? The poo if i remember was not mushy or like diarhhea.

    P.S. I'm still quarantining her, so no problems yet so far, the first time she pooped since i got her. Temperatures are what they are supposed to be and no signs of mites or RI. Stays in her hide during the day and comes out at night, so she is not stressed I believe.

    It is normal for them to hold their poos and then just expel a load one day yes. As well as the urine.
    But your snakes poo was like diarhhea? then no that is not normal.
    If possible a picture would help.

    The poo should resemble a dog or cat poop (given the size of your BP) with white clumpy urates and some urine soaked into the substrate.

    ok, my bad.
    Then perfectly normal yes.
    Sometimes if they are close to a shed they will hold it in as well until they shed then you get a nice sized present in the cage.

    Or on your lap, as I got last night. That's exactly what happened to me - my big girl shed and I picked her up to clean out the tank. I had her on my lap and - BAM - I've been turned into a bp toilet. Fortunately, everyone was asleep and nobody saw it.
