BP poop

How often do Bps poop?

Sometimes once a week, other times maybe once a month. It all depends on the snake and the amount of food it's eating. It's not one of those things you can put a definite time on.

cool wondering cause i had my guy for little over a month and he as only pooed once. He is eating like champ and seems heathly.

give em a warm water soak , and usually gets things flowin ive read they poop
once every 2 meals or once every other meal but mine all poop at diffrent times , kaa usually once a month and there all at the same temps so who really knows id keep a log of it though along with feeding and shedding so the vet (incase he needs one some day) can rule out a lot of stuff with good records

Be sure to check under you hides, I have found that mine likes to take a dump under his warm side hide and it sticks to the corner so even when I just lift it up to spot clean I can't see it unless I look underneath.

awesome question...mine poops around two to three days after feeding. Although I can still see the hopper being digested, I'm guessing its from the previous feeding. The first poop I had with my BP was interesting. He and I were watching TV together and I feel my shirt getting wet and I'm like oh damn...here he goes. But one thing, be sure to watch for urates (little white things that come during the 'poop' process) it's completely normal. Just a little heads up. Happy watching!

Not if it matters but you can learn alot from poop.

My bp pooped within 24 hrs of feeding a small rat once & I knew that was a sign of something...

Turns out the 2 kids were playing the tv very loud & jumping around most the night. (after I set up her new 40 gallon)

So I moved her into a very quiet & peaceful room for her.

Been normal pooping ever since, twice a month if that.

If you do not know the history on the snake, or if the snake is underweight or has any other problems, then sometimes a reluctance or inability to poop can signal parasites. I learned this first hand with one of mine. In that instance, I knew that his history was a bad one, and on top of that he was also severely underweight. He would eat and eat and eat and never poop. We went a month and a half without a poop before I finally took him to the vet. Turns out he had three types of parasites (which I'd already suspected).

That's not to scare you or anything, and of course that scenario is not necessarily the norm. It is just something to keep an open mind to, particularly, as I said, if you do not know the history of the snake.

As for my healthy snakes, Adalae will poop sometimes twice a week. She's a glutton. She eats her food, expels the waste, and is ready for more within just a few days. She grows like a weed; it's wonderful. Some of the others who are just as healthy will only poop once every two weeks. It varies from snake to snake.

So since mine pooped almost two days after feeding, should I have fed him a few days later? Because it's been almost a week since then and he's almost done with his shed, should I wait till the shed is complete now?
