    No Poo
    Being a new snake parents I'm not expert on anything, but I've had my bp for almost a month and a half, and she still hasn't pooped yet, Bauhamat eats a fuzzy once a week since I've had her, could there be a more serious problem, or am I just being paranoid? BTW- temps are just fine 75 on cool side 90 on hot, hot side drops to 85 at night. Someone calm my fears and ease my worries! :confuse: :crying:

    Your temps are a little on the cool side. I'd really try to bump them up to at least 80 on the cool side. Ideal is 82 cool side and 92 hot side, with no night drop unless your breeding.

    It's possible you may need to up her food size to a small adult mouse. I would think she could handle it. How big is she/he? I wouldn't worry about the no bm, since he may be utilizing all the food you are feeding him and mine can go a month to 6 weeks between bms. No big deal.

    She's just a little baby, the fuzzies I feed her are about as big as she is wide, as long as there are no problems that this would be a symptom of, then I can rest easy. :clap:

    82 - 84 on one side, 92 - 94 on the other ... 24 hours a day. Temps that are too low could lead to a variety of health problems including constipation.

    Fuzzies are a little small for a ball python. I feed hatchlings fuzzy mice for about their first two meals and then they are on to small adult mice ... unless your snake is less than 2 months old, I'd up the prey size.
