    problems
    In past 2 months my 7 month old bp hasn't went to the bathroom or shed... unless she pooped under neath aspen and hid it, its nowhere to be found. She's been eatin just fine though, always downs two hoppers each week.

    She kind of escaped for a few months then came back, since she's been back (2 months ago) nothing... im wondeirng if something happened during her little vacation... she looks totally alert and healthy , just isn't shedding...

    i mist the tank 2-3 times a day, so its like 50-60% humidity and the temps are themoregulated @ 90

    heh, well I think your biggest concern that could have happened is she left you a present somewhere while she was out(They seem to enjoy doing that).

    Otherwise I wouldn't worry too much. If you're really concerned put her in a warm bath... that always seems to make them go.

    2 hoppers a week?? I have 3 month old snakes that eat that..maybe the reason she hasn't pooped is she really hasn't eaten any thing..you might want to bump up her food size..

    Yeah, I have 7 month old snakes that are 600+ grams and eating f/t medium rats every 10 days. I would feed him more.

    It could be that she's just using up all her food, so she's had no reason to poop because she has none. That could also be the reason why she hasn't shed either, because she isn't outgrowing her skin fast enough. Defnitely bump her prey size up, mine is two months younger than yours and eating a rat pup every 7 days.

    That snake could probably be eating rat pups.
