    Constipation?
    Hey y'all. I've owned a female ball python for about a year now, and she's been doing great. She's never refused a meal in her lifetime, she has nice girth and all that. But I've realized that she hasn't pooped for a while. Its been possibly 3 weeks? I haven't really kept track because it never really crossed mind. She has only urinated.
    In the past she'd typically go once a week or once every other week.
    She seems fine, with no change in behavior or anything, except she hasn't taken a dump.
    Should I be worried? Is there something I can do to help? Thanks.

    There is nothing to do unless the female appears bloated and or has a bulge near her vent.

    3 weeks is not unusual even 4, 5, 6 or more is not either.

    She is making you a nice big wounderful present for the next time she sheds
