My snake hasn't pooped in 6 months!

Hi I'm new here.. So my female ball python hasn't pooped in 6 months. And I've been a little worried because she hasn't eaten in about 3 months (we've tried everything). I had her checked out and everything was fine they said she was perfectly healthy! Why hasn't she pooped yet from her last meal? I don't understand. She doesn't seem constipated, I see her drinking a lot lately. And today I put her in the tub to soak and weirdly she liked it today lol. Any suggestions or advice?

Take her out and do a real thorough cleaning of her enclosure. That should get her to go. :)

Well, if nothing goes in, then nothing comes out. More than likely she passed her last meal and it has been over looked. If you must though, then yes a thorough cleaning and heavy "rainfall" will usually get the desired feces.

Yeh they can't poop if they haven't eaten anything. What is the age/weight of the snake?

How big is she? What have you tried feeding her?

I know that if nothing goes in then nothing can come out. What I'm trying to say is she's eaten in the last 6 months she ate may June July 6 times and still hasn't pooped from that.

Is there a possibility of you missing/forgetting the defecation? Some specimens will release after a good shower...heavy misting of the cage.

What is her weight and what are you feeding her?

No I'm sure I haven't missed anything! That's why I'm worried. She has peed but not pooped.
