    the poop thing is fairly normal, it happens sometimes. But I'm a little concerned with the amount youre feeding. you could probably spread the feedings out a little bit more. every 3-4 days is awful short.

    I thought so too....if he/she is talking rat pups then it's not bad...but any bigger than that is probably over feeding. As far as the poo problem, try soaking in a warm bath, will help loosen things up. It is a common thing for ball pythons though, I've heard some people's go months without pooing.

    yes not a huge concern, check your humidity make sure it is good and you might try a few soaks, tepid water (MEASURE IT 85-88ºF) and not past half way up the sides deep (so, not deep!) and let her soak for 20-30 min every day. She will go, also some exercise can help as well let her craw around the floor a bit.

    My female poops about once a month, my male tends to hold onto his a bit longer. They all have their own schedules. :) I do agree that you should space out the feedings a tad bit more. Every five to seven days is the average consensus.

    thanks for the help. my dates for feeding might be off, im not the best at keeping records. i try to feed every 5 days right now to use up my supply of rats that are a little small for my snake
