My BP is constapaded I think?
So its been awhile since Ive kept bp's and recently got one a month ago he seemed to be eating fine then recently he hasnt pooped since 15Feb he has eaten on 19Feb, 25Feb, and 2Mar all frozen thawed hopper mice I cleaned up a small piece of the white urine the other day but thats it. Cage temps are kept between 80-85 on the hotside and 75-80 on the cold side with about 30 percent humidity (it is very dry in my home) but he gets misted a couple times a day to raise it up to about 50 He recently had mites but they seem to all be gone should I be worried about this or is it ok? any help would be greatly appreciated

What does he weigh? One hopper mouse a week is on the slow side for feeding. I start my hatchlings off with rat pups or fuzzies from the first meal. If he's bigger than 70g or so, then you're underfeeding a little, which could contribute to him not needing to defecate. I would at least offer 2 hoppers every 5-7 days.

Clean thier enclosure works for mine almost every time :P but it sounds ok just get your temps up a little as Aaron said should be fine
