Are my snakes falling to feces?

My girls have been home for two weeks and they are good eaters, but only one of them is regular, having defiled her cage twice, and me once. On the other hand, one of them hasn't soiled her cage once.

She seems to be in excrement health, and her activity shows her to be far from pooped, but she doesn't seem to be very defecated to eliminating herself of waste.

Is there anything that can be dung for her?
Should I stop feeding her until she unloads?

nope. she'll poop when she wants to.

dexter pooped right after i got him in november and then not again until his last shed... and then he pooped twice!!!

so no worries :)

ball pythons only go about every 4-6 weeks, sometime longer depending on how they're eating. i wouldn't worry about it at all.

Being that I love parasitology and poop is fun for me, those sentences are just hilarious!

But yes, they will go when they need to go. The longer the wait, the bigger the poop, so be prepared :)

I guess this was my first "Oh no my snakes are going to die." episode, but thanks to your comments I'm over it now.

One of mine didn't poop until I had posted here that I was worried about the fact that she hadn't pooped...she then promptly....pooped!

I still think that snake was smirking at me!

Hehehehe! Kashmire hasn't pooped since October - but then he hasn't eaten since then, so there's nothing to poop! LOL

Parsel just had his first shed with me since i got him right before christmas, and same day had his first poo, 2 big nuggets.

yeah, i noticed my snakes always go after they shed.
