Baby Ball Python hasn't pooped...

[terrorcel]

I am aware it is a pretty normal thing for baby bps to go for up to a month at a time without pooping, but it's been about two months (maybe even a little more) since my hatchling has pooped (about 4-5 months old). It even had one shed without pooping, and is going through another shed as I type this, still with no poop...

I have felt along his belly and can't feel any hard spots, and he has gotten many warm soaks, and usually passes a urate when soaking but has never pooped. He is active when taken out of the cage but mostly rests in the cool area of his tank otherwise, and doesn't show any signs of being ill or constipated, and eats a hopper mouse readily once a week.

Should I be worried?

I would not worry, nor would I soak, soaking can rob essential oils. He is probably just using up all he is taking in. They all have their own poop schedules. If he is eating, and appears fine, I wouldn't even worry.

I agree with what was posted above ^^^... I bet you see some poo after your snakes next shed!

Looks like I spoke too soon! About an hour after he finished his shed he passed a few massive urates and finally took a poo. Thanks for the help!
