rats also have more roughage depending on size, so by all means it should be quicker and more. but really it won't make a difference. and there should be no difference in excrement due to more nutritional value.

Right here buddy, :stupidme: ! Haha.

Good luck to the OP.

Make sure that all of your temps are correct..
that usually helps with the passing part.

Other than that,
sometimes RTB's just "dont feel like it" when it comes to being active.
I know my girls go through those spurts

thanks guys for all the replys. the temps are good so i can stop worring.

If you really want to get into the nitty gritty... the thicker skin and the longer hair causes it to take longer for digestive fluids to get to where they do their business, however the difference when it comes to the poo would be at max a day extra. I don't think a day is anything to worry about at all when it comes to constipation for a snake.

thnx Shaun, I figured we may have had one in our labyrinth of smilies. lol

i was referring to what you had quoted in that, sorry it was confusing, saying that more nutritious in no way means less excrement.
