They go when they go. Some of mine can go six weeks without pooping. If you're overly concerned, you can always have your vet take a look at him .

I would double check your temps and humidity. Also, try and palpate his tail area, if you feel a hard mass, he may be blocked and need some help. Best bet if he starts to really worry you is to take him to a qualified snake vet for a check up.

Furio hasn't went in about a month it's nothing to worry about, I've had snakes go 2 months before without going #2.

Little Dude went over a month without pooping so I put him in some warm water and he passed a HUGE hard urate, then everything else. Hes been going every 2-3 weeks since.

Re: My ball hasnt digested in over a month

Oohhh man. Vincent did the same thing, he held out for a long time. Then.. one day I walked by his tank and I was thinking to myself "What the hell is the SMELL!?!?!". I looked in Vincent's tank, and holy jeeze. There was a huge looong turd.
So don't worry, he'll go.. it'll be nasty though.

Even adult bps only crap once every 2-3 months, they can digest almost all they eat, only hair and bowel contents are really indigestible. If they eat pinks then *everything* is digestible just about.
