    Question My ball python is not peeing, ever!

    Hi all, I need help. I got my ball three weeks ago. She has eaten twice and is now going into shed. She seems healthy but has yet to pee. She is in her hide most of the time. I keep the humidity around 50 to 55%. Since she has gone into shed, she got the milky eye think, which is why I know, I have increased it to 70%. I know I shouldn't be handling her until after her shed is complete, but this just can't be right. Please advise me. Thank you.

    Give her a little time....mine sometime do their thing during their shed! 3 weeks isn't that long of a time. Also what type of bedding are you using? May be you just didn't see it in there.

    Adding to what Roach said:

    Snakes can go weeks and months without going to the bathroom. Snakes can also urinate solid masses called urates which come out as white powdered "turds".

    Thanks for making feel better. I'm using aspen. I'll do a thorough inspection for the white pellets.

    I had the same issue with my guy when I first got him.....I honestly think he was being fed so little that there wasn't much to excrete. I have been feeding him appropriate sized prey and he has started going to the bathroom about every 4 days....
