    What to do with sausage butt?
    So, my 400 gram BP has been on small rats for about 3 weeks now and hasn't pooped in about a month. I'm not concerned about him not pooping, but I don't see hohttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/17/apazymy9.jpgw anything else will fit in his body. The sausage butt is pretty bad. Should I keep offering up normal meals and let it be or should I try a warm bath?

    Leave it. He will go when he needs to. Keep feeding as normal. You're going to find a special surprise soon enough. ;) Honesty, I wouldn't be holding that snake right now... :p

    I wouldn't be concerned as long as sausage butt doesn't feel like a hard mass. Sometimes a warm water soak will encourage defecation. Unless he shows signs of distress there is no need to worry. :)

    This had me cracking up. I put him up soon after reading your post. He looks like he could blow at any time. His last rat was a little on the larger side and I just can't imagine him fitting another in this week without something giving.

    I once had a female go almost three months and eventually laid down a giant one. Also keep feeding him, it's fine

    mmmmm, sausage. yum.

    :agrees with Doolittle: Handling that snake is a time bomb of poop waiting to go off down your shirt, or on you pants, or on the couch, or the bed, all over the floor...

    Clean his tub very well and be happy with your work.
    He will give you a reason not to be happy shortly after.

    Right now, Nigel is in blue AND has a nice case of sausage butt. I know exactly what's going to happen in a few days, and it means I won't have a nice clean shed skin to look at. :rolleyes:

    My boa loves to wait a month or two until she's able to leave a, unbelievably huge, piping hot pile of s*** for me to clean up. She's 3 1/2 - 4ft long and craps like a full grown St. Bernard :O. If after a few more weeks their is still no bawl movement you should see a vet. In the meantime give him a luke warm bath about 3 times a week and that might loosen him up. But more than likely you're gonna find a massive load and wonder who broke into his enclosure and left it. good luck, hope he turns out alright and relieved

    LMAO.. Am I the only one with a silly sense of humor (or maybe Jtupnsmoke has fooled you all) that had noticed that we are commenting on a picture of man's crotch area with a falic symbol laying across it? Ha ha.. I hope your sausage (butt) releases itself soon. Ha.. No offence meant, btw. Just reporting on my silly point of view.

    Put your BP on an expensive white dry-clean only garment. Poop will happen...
