bp has not pooped after last meal. Should I feed or wait

I used to stick to a 7-day schedule, unless he pooped before that, but then one time he went the full 7 without pooping.

It won't hurt to try to feed, the worst he can do is refuse. :D

I got his rat thawing for tonight. thanks everyone.

I wouldn't worry about it like everyone said its an individual thing. You could look at the food size you're offering and if you feel the snake could handle an upgrade do that?

Feed him, it'll hasten #2 along.

Though, generally they smell worse when the snake holds it in to combine two feedings.

I always think he's laughing at me when I have to clean two meals up that smell four times as worse haha.

If we ate every 7 days, I still don't think we would poop after every meal??

Gosh. I would be soooo hungry if I had to wait to use the bathroom in order to eat. Lol.

(I could be totally wrong with this. Haha. )

7 days? Man I can't go a few hours without food! Lol

my BCI drives me crazy I can feed her 4 times and then I get one nasty poop.. I just moved her to small rats and she has put on a bit of chunk but still refuses to poop

as long as they're eating, you're in good shape :gj:
