Do you still feed if bp didnt take crap?

So my bp hasnt taken a crap and he is fat. Fed him two rat pups this week (5 day feeding schedule) and I'm pretty sure he is going into shed. Should I feed him next week? He does eat during shed.

Some Bps won't go to the bathroom until they shed. unless he looks like he is going to explode I would go ahead and at least offer food.

how long has it been
?

I would feed, it's not at all unheard of for them to hold it for several weeks. Some take little poos after every meal and some unleash the gates of hell once a month. And some do both. :O

he does look fat. I aint gonna lie. It has been 3 days since the last feeding day and yeah its not like im going to feed today but you know I want to know for the future and later this week.

I try and feed no matter what at least weekly.

A soak in a warm bath and a light massage usually loosens the bowels :D

My BP always has a B-I-G one with his shed. You might see one soon...
I would still feed. If he will still eat. How old is your snake? It sounds like he's a younger one, and I've heard that overfeeding isn't much of an issue until they're into adulthood.

There is no reason to "help" your BP defecate if he isn't constipated. He already knows how to.
