constipated/

[ball*pythons]

I own just one ball, Barnaby. I have had him since the 31st of August this year. We last fed him (a rat) on the 3rd of November. He has been showing signs of shedding and I thought he would've shed by now but he hasn't. Also, he has not 'done his business' this time after being fed and his tail looks a bit larger so I think he might be constipated. Should I worry? By the way he is a 3 yr old, approximately 3-3.5 foot. He was last weighed recently at about 930 ish grams (sorry I don't have the exact weight with me) which is what he is about usually after a feed. Thanks Ally

I have a couple who easily go 3 to 4 weeks between poops. Others go weekly.

Mine almost always poop right after they shed. If your's is about to shed, it may just be coming right after the shed is complete.

Yep so far two of mine poop when they shed. One poops all the time, the other is just random.

A guy I work with gave me that advice when I first got mine,he had sausage butt,did it when I got home and he pooped right away.
