    Going to the bathroom a lot lately, why?
    So from this past week or so my female BP has been urinating/defecating a lot. When I go in to spot clean, I either find urine spots or feces. Mainly, it's the urine spots I've been finding, and I've noticed she has been drinking a lot of water too. Do any of you know why this is happening? She's never went to the bathroom this much too, so I'm a little worried.

    I don't have an answer but mine poops once a week 1 or 2 days after his meal and I thought they poop once a month.

    I personally noticed that with younger snakes under 500 grams will poop less often as they are growing. And older snakes will poop more as their not growing as fast so therefore the meals are not being absorbed 100%. If the snake is pooping alot rethink the food amount and see if that helps.

    my younger snakes are pooping every 4-6 weeks on the dot. But i do not feed them large meals only a max of 60 grams a week.

    Is your humidity running low? That may be why she's drinking more water, which IMO is way better than dehydration and not peeing...
