    no poop.....now what?
    Both of my females were off food for about a month 3 weeks ago and have eaten live for the padt 3 weeks. I have not found any signs of a bowel movement from both of them, I havent even found any urates. They seem happy and active. Also my male who has been consistant pooping 5 days after feeding has done nothing this week. I found a urate today but no BM. I did change suppliers of there food last week. The girls ate 1 fuzzy rat weighing ~25g. My male ate a small rat weighing 45g ladt Friday. ..what should I do and should I be concerned?

    Sorry I just read a thread that said they can go a month without pooping.

    And if they haven't been eating, then they're probably using all of the nutrients they're eating now

    Bowel movement will only happen if they eat, if they go of feed and then resume feeding again most of the prey item will be utilize leaving nothing to be eliminated.

    So long their is no sign of impaction there is really no concern, what you are experiencing with your snake is normal.

    As Deborah said, sounds pretty normal. :) Most of my adults really only poop once a month, some of them slightly more often, some of them slightly less often. They just operate at a different rate than mammals do.
