    Feed before poop?
    my feeding schedule has to feed every 6 days, and my ball always poops on the 5th day, but he didn't should I continue to feed him? or wait for him to poop.

    If anyone suggests to soak him, I can't because I believe he is going into shed quite soon.

    Thanks

    yes, just stay on schedule. He will poop when he needs to. heck, sometimes mine can go two weeks before they drop one.

    Yup, feed him. He will go when he needs to.

    If you always offer food on schedule, you stand a better chance of keeping everything else on schedule. Having said that, BP's tend to do what they want, when they want. I wouldn't get too worried about your snake being late with a poop.

    I personally feel soaking is a bad idea for any reason other than a really bad shed.

    like everyone else said stay on schedule even if it hasn't pooped seems normal. you will notice the end of the tail kind of swollen looking then you will think a chihuahua pooped in the tub :rofl:

    I am not much for schedules but there is no reason to wait some royals tank a long time between pooping. I have one girl whom often is 3 weeks sometimes longer.
