baby snake about 100 grams not pooping

How long should I wait until I get worried it has been about 12 days. She looks fine otherwise.

Babies are efficient. There's no need to really worry. They're growing so much that they use most of what they're eating. You could probably use a small bump in prey size but she/he won't go every week.


Check out what's new on my website... www.Homegrownscales.com

when my pin was around that weight, I was feeding her mice hoppers every 6 days and she pooped like every 3-4 weeks

I wouldn't worry at all, she's probably just using all that food for growing. I got my first snake around that weight and she didn't poop for at least a month.

You could clean her enclosure. I bet she'd poop then~ :D

Yea, that always works >.<

Yup, they will poo when they need too. At this stage, they are using most of what they consume. Don't worry, once they hit about 1000g, they will leave you a present everytime you feed them....

LOL
You guys... :rolleyes:

Anywho, Penny ALWAYS had a poop 3 days after she ate. But for a baby, I wouldn't worry. She needs all that food to grow, so it's only logical that waste would be a minimal.
Also, are you certain she's not leaving you presents? Sometimes ours would leave some that was the same brown as the mulch and the only way we could tell was because it was poop shaped.

Several of mine decide to hold it in, as some cruel joke on "that thing that cleans and feeds". Makes it smell 10 times worse.

My hatching didn't have her fist poo till after 3 weeks of her first meal. Don't worry about it.
