When will she defecate?

My little 200g pastel fem has ate like 5-7 hopper mice, but still hasn't crapped! When do you guys think this little sassuage will? Lol i feed her every 4-5 days.

My understanding is that, bowel movements are very animal specific, time wise. However 5-7 hoppers (for me) would almost be a concern. Feeding every 4-5 days equates to 20-25 days without a poo. I would start giving warm baths to try to get some movement.

For what its worth, I currently have a 200g pastel that takes a hopper every 3 days and presents me with a gift every 10-14 days according to my notes.

When was the last shed? My 7 year old normal will 'save it up' before a shed.

warm bath is a great idea! ive had to do it before. just put my butter in a tub with warm water and 10 minutes later he pooped all up in it.... i was just trying to help him with the shed at the time. had to give him a bath so i could get all the poo water off him though. its not a pretty sight

Warm water is a real great idea, What kind of substrate do you use and is their a possibility it is hidden under it or in a hide

Younger Snakes will poop less often due to growing at a faster rate, thus absorbing the meal more. My hatchlings go about 1-2 months between poops.

My adults poop once every 4-6 weeks.

lol well guess what flynn, she just shed today ;)

Feed her bigger meals and she will go...Hopper Mice are for hatchlings.

I've had my BP for about 3 weeks now and I've yet to see it leave a stinky. Not that I'm complaining. I'm just use to my dog crapping every 3 hours, so its a pleasant change.

I agree!

Move up to adult mice, hoppers are too small. I've been feeding adult mice to my guy since he's been around 130 grams.

my snake ate a hopper, a small hamster, and a pregnant adult mouse and still didnt poop.... it took her like a month to crap but once I gave her a warm bath, she did that night.
