    Question?
    Ok Im new to the whole baby ball thing. Ive always had the larger pythons and even the balls I have had for years they have always been adults Ive never had a smaller one. But my pied shed last week and he has looked like he has to poop ever since I got him and with the way his coloring is you can actually see it inside of him because of the white and you can feel it and everything. And most of my snakes when they have to go to the bathroom go directly after they shed or a day or two after but he still has not gone and im not sure if I there is something other I can do besides soak him becuase I have soaked him in warm water every night. And I have also offered him food twice and he has not been interested but I know he eats because he was sheding when I got him and he has to poop so he ate something lol. But Ive never had a snake this small before so they kind of scar me a little lol its so fragile looking compared to my giants. The baby burms I have are so much bigger then the baby balls lol and some of them are the same age. Any help would be appreciated

    They can hold there stuff in a pretty good while! As long as your husbandry and everything is correct he should lay a big one for you in no time. They have slow metabolisms so as long as its not bulging to the point of disfigurment I would give him some more time and go from there.

    Well what if you can sorta like see the lumps inside him underneath? Is that normal? Ill try to get pics tonight and post them. I think im over reacting a little bit but I would hate for something to go wrong with him cause he was a little expensive and I have some big plans for him lol

    If it feels hard, I would go see a vet.
