I need some help!

Hi! I have a normal ball python, he is about 2.5 or 2 feet long, he is a baby. Anyways, he gets fed every week an adult mouse, for the last two feedings he has not pooped. I held him yesterday and it looked like he was going to, and i look today and the bump is gone. I searched all in his tank and I couldn't find any poop anywhere, he is peeing, but I am finding no poop. Please Help!!:snake:

Nothing to worry about, some BP's only poop after they shed. They don't have a very high metabolism so they don't go as often as you might expect.

Thank you! I usually don't worry, but it was weird that he had a bump one day and it was gone the next and he hadn't gone. I sometimes get overprotective and worrisome of him, haha.

what are the temps in your enclosure? idk but i heard that heat helps ball pythons digest their food but i could be wrong.

my snakes go atleast once a week.

If they go more than once a week you might be over feeding.

i feed once a week sometimes once every week and a half and i said they go atleast ONCE A WEEK not more than once a week

At least once a week means 1 or more times a week... So my statement is valid.

Even if you only feed once a week you can still be over feeding...

I'm not saying that you are, just trying to help.

ok then they go only once a week no more than 1 time a week thanks for the correction
