    Digestion Question?
    I finally got my newly aquired bp to eat after about 2 months. He's about a year and a half old, and took a jumbo mouse last sunday....no stool produced yet, its been about 10 days. Should this raise concern or is it normal?

    Normal, especially after going without eating for a while. It seems the more their body is using the food, the longer it will take for them to go.

    Not if your temps. (hot and cool sides) are where they should be. BP's can and do, go a while without defecating. Some go right after they shed. Wouldn't worry just yet.

    Mine goes about every 10-14 days, he eats a small rat every Thursday and it is usually 3-5 days after each feeding before he goes. If he is getting ready to go into shed he tends to hold it all in and then when he sheds he leaves a huge mess all over his cage for me to clean up the next morning. So I wouldn't worry about it, I have seen a lot of people post that going 3 weeks isn't abnormal. Hope that helps.
