Strange Question

This may sound strange to you all, but how often should a healthy Bp be pooing? Ramesses ate two very small mice Monday and hasn't pooed. Behavior hasn't changed. I looked it up on google and the first thing most sites said to check was temp. Temps are fine. He has pooed before (last week), but I'm just making sure this isn't a sign of illness.

Some light reading:

They poop when they are ready to poop... they can get constipated, but unless there is something seriously amiss he will go when he/she is ready.

I had one male (RIP) that used to poop every six weeks like clockwork, others that decimate their enclosures every 4 days. Just depends on the snake.

My six week pooper, I got so excited over his lack of pooping skills I went so far as to give this poor lad an enema... yeah. Not fun for him, not fun for me.

Just let him be, he'll go when he's ready. :)

How does one give an enema to a snake?....Nevermind, I'm sure I don't want to know :puke2:

You hand them an enema... they take it... there you gave the snake an enema... :)

That's about the only way I could bring my self to do it!
