might be somthing wrong? bloated?

Hey guys i bought an albino ball the other day and something might be wrong. when i bagged her it felt like she was kinked but about 15 minutes later she moved around and through kinks were gone. she looks extremely bloated and looks like she really needs to poop. few days later she she still hasn't pooped. i tried feeding her to see if that would get her to poop. she ate perfectly but still no poop. she's a small girl at 90grams. still got the fresh hatching skin. she just really feels like she need to poop. anyone ever had this pro lemon with hatchlings?

A pic would be helpful. When did she hatch? They don't poop after every feeding, sometimes it takes a little more time because they are using the food very efficiently. If she has a big poop that's being hard and she is having trouble passing it you could give her a Luke warm bath for just a little bit and it will help. What size food did she eat before you got her and what size food did you feed her? Sometimes when you pick them up and startle them they will tense up even in a coil and may feel like a kink...

well sounds like you may have gotten her a bit to early, i am ASSuming with your post she has not gone through her hatchling shed. (i may be wrong), but i would say relax for now, if you can get a pick of it someone can assist you with some guidance. poop with balls are just as finicky as eating at times, some poop every week or 2 some don't for longer periods. they are not like us, 24-48 hours. after eating.

If it is a new hatchling, could it be a bloated yolk belly?

She is 2 months old and is a little over 90grams. She was feeding on rat pups and I fed her a very small meal. Live rat pink. There is dark mass running down her body. This is not your typical havent pooped in awhile look. Ive been keeping balls for awhile and this is the first time ive seen a baby this bloated. Could there be some kind a defect or bug thats causing this? her tail is extremely stuck and she just seems miserable. Any advice will be helpful thanks. Will soak her now

I don't know why but whenever I have a snake that hasn't pooped in a while and it looks bloated, I take it out and hold it for awhile and poof...like magic they let loose all over me.

have you tried a warm soak with her? sometimes the warm water they let it all out.

That snake is constipated and full of gas.

Soak in warm water for 30 mins a day till its relieved
