    Re: legolas wont do number 2

    You said he went once, but when was the last time? They really don't go that often. Usually around every two weeks to a month depending on how much they're growing and how much they're eating. Going once in two months is not unusual. You can often speed up the process by soaking them in a lukewarm bath for 20 minutes.

    Good luck!

    Re: legolas wont do number 2

    Whenever I command my snakes to do anything, including when to go to the bathroom, they just sit there motionless and stare at me. Its frustrating.

    Just kidding...

    A common issue of uncertainty among new owners is when and how much they actually defecate. Don't worry, they'll go when they're ready, and usually when you are out of paper towels, having company over, or something like that.
