    How often do baby ball pythons poop?
    My ball python has pooped two times since we got him. One poop was pretty big but not gigantic like people usually say, today i found a new poop that isnt that big either. How big should the poop be also?

    There is no schedule, it depends on feeding (prey size & frequency), and what you need to also take in consideration is that when young they utilize most of the prey for growth.

    Bottom line they go when they need to.

    Recently, I was going to bed and letting my pet ball python rita sit on top of the sheets . All was good when suddenly my hands felt cold and i could feel liquid seeping through my blanket...It smelled like fish....I grabbed her and put her back in the cage, washed myself, and got rid of the sheet.

    On that fateful night I had been concerned because I increased the size of her prey and she hadn't pooped in over a month.
    The next night I look in her cage and see a pile of poop that looked like it came from a puppy.

    Our new baby has pooped a whole bunch of times (poop, not urates... although he's done those too) since we got him, each one getting a little larger than the last. I'm pretty sure that the total volume of poop he's produced since arriving may actually be larger than the total volume he has eaten with us. My only assumption is that he must have been saving it up for awhile at the store before he got here, and something about his new environment has inspired him to make regular contributions to it. I *think* that we have now caught up with the most recent meal, and that we'll be seeing a more reasonable food-to-poop ratio from now on. But it's sort of odd how he didn't dump all the ballast at once, just did it piecemeal.
