I have a beautiful female bp who is about 8 months old. She has been kind of a slow grower and is about 24 inches long and just weighed in today at 259g. She recently fasted for 3 weeks and then began eating again like it never happened. 7 rat pups and 8 WEEKS later and she has not pooped once. She eats regularly, is active at night and during handling and pees all the time. I have tried the warm water bathing and that still hasnt stimulated anything. I called my reptile vet and they told me to bring her in so they could manually squeeze the poop our or give her an enema of warm soapy water. I told them no thank you because that seems like an awful lot of trauma to put an otherwise healthy snake through.
I personally think that she hasnt pooped because of her fast getting her behind and then she has been eating small rat pups with little amounts of hair so she has little to poop out.
Do you think i should take my vets advice. I personally want to wait till her next shed to she if she goes then but i dont want her to get sick from not pooping.
