Mine poop about every 3 months but they do piss in between that. I have had them not pee or poop for 4 months though and they are not dehydrated or anything. I have one that pisses a lot too, like evey 7-10 days and sometimes twice in 3 days hahaha...

What size prey is she eating? Remember that when young snakes are eating young prey, the prey is mostly digestible- there's very little waste leftover to defecate.
That's probably all that's happening here, & her "meals" might also be too small for her.

Thanks for your response! Yes hoping that's what it is, she has had quite a growth spur since she came and grown about 120 grams or so. I've been giving her rat pups about 10% of her body weight so they've been between 20-30 grams. Should I up the size from that to larger ones?
