They need humidity, so unless you have some form of humidity you're going to have one constipated snake. Your best bet is to get a luke warm bath started and let him soak for a good 30 minutes or until it defacates, whatever comes first. Get a hide and a very large water dish in that tank and get the humidity up.

Have you checked to see if she has any hard or stiff spots on the back 1/2 of her body

That is completely Normal. Snakes go when they need to. Growing snakes poop less as their absorbing the meal more completely.

Do not worry your self, continue to feed as normal and youll wake up to a nice smelly treat soon enough.

well first of all, where are the hides for the snake? How are you heating the enclosure? How are you measuring temps?

Ball pythons, especially babies can go up to 6 weeks without pooping. Don't worry about it. She will go when she needs too. Continue to feed her normally. She will be just fine.

wow,thanks for the information
i will continue feeding her,hopefully she will poop soon

i don't used hide box and i used the room thermometer to measure the temperature because here in indonesia is warm and humidity enough for the snake without heat lamp

sorry my english is poor he he

but thanks all

Looks fine. Humidity does need to be 60% to prevent respiratory and shedding issues.

Snakes are very efficient animals, and they may or may not defecate as often as they eat. They will often store it up if they're going into shed, too, lol.

this is close up shoot hi hi hi:D

I know it's warm where you live, but snakes need belly heat. This helps them digest their food too.

Good Luck!

finally she's poop after sheed yeah:P

I know someone asked about hides, but i didnt see an answer. Where are they? Ball pythons love to be cramped (in a hide, not in a small enclosure). Give her two hides, and maybe a moist hide.

I have several that seem to only deficate after shed. When they do watch out lol.....

I've got a friend that ONLY feeds his snakes AFTER they shed. I think he'll have to change his method when the snakes get older.

Are you serious? An unfed snake won't shed very often? How are they supposed to grow? And what do you mean older? Is this a baby?

My snakes have all worked up to a hour minimum soak each and every week.

He just recently got into snakes and I've tried to help him. He's the kind of guy that reads something and thinks he knows what it say and he does what he wants to do. Now I may be wrong, but I know his snakes (all younger than 6-8 months old) only shed about once every 40-60 days. I think he only only feeds his snakes once a shed period. I'm sure that's what he's told me. We had discussions about this and it's almost turned into an argument.

Sad to say it but at that rate that snake is going to waste away and die...

Babies need to be fed every 5-7 days in order to grow at a decent rate.

I agree completely, but what is a person to do? After he loses a few snakes, he'll maybe learn his lesson. I've even offered to buy the snakes from him, then realized he'll only go out and buy more snakes. I can't save the world.

I haven't talked to him since the argument, I don't know how the snakes are doing. Maybe I'll call him tonight and see how things are going.

Can't help them all...I know of a guy who keeps his ball python in a setup meant for turtles. Water and all...It is very sad.
