So I've fed my BP 2 mice in the past 7 days. But he has yet to take a dump (or at least, if he has I havent found it). Should I refrain from feeding him any more until he defecates?

Nope he's fine. My blood pythons only poop every month or so (they are fed weekly) and my big female dumerils boa hasn't pooped since I got her (Oct 8th)

My baby colubrids poop at least once a week. The sand boas seem to poo more too. It's the bigger ones that hold it longer.

I've got a big female ball that usually waits about 4-5 meals before dropping a load. And when she does...you don't wanna be there for that....

Haha.. yeah. Meatball my male blood python dumped a german shepherd sized load last week. He lost .7 pounds doing that, and he only weighs 4.3 lbs!

Haha.. yes that is a bit lame, isn't it? I noticed because Meatball weighed more than Habanera (the female) last month, but this month Habanera was nearly a pound heavier!
