    They need humidity, so unless you have some form of humidity you're going to have one constipated snake. Your best bet is to get a luke warm bath started and let him soak for a good 30 minutes or until it defacates, whatever comes first. Get a hide and a very large water dish in that tank and get the humidity up.

    That is completely Normal. Snakes go when they need to. Growing snakes poop less as their absorbing the meal more completely.

    Do not worry your self, continue to feed as normal and youll wake up to a nice smelly treat soon enough.

    well first of all, where are the hides for the snake? How are you heating the enclosure? How are you measuring temps?

    Ball pythons, especially babies can go up to 6 weeks without pooping. Don't worry about it. She will go when she needs too. Continue to feed her normally. She will be just fine.

    Looks fine. Humidity does need to be 60% to prevent respiratory and shedding issues.

    Snakes are very efficient animals, and they may or may not defecate as often as they eat. They will often store it up if they're going into shed, too, lol.
