    Question about young bp???

    I've only had my new albino baby for 2 weeks and she weighed 110 grams when I got her.

    She has eaten twice so far for me and seems to be doing great but my question is: She has not pooped or pee'd yet - should I be concerned??

    Should I give her a short soak to induce elimination??

    Any help would be great. This is my first young snake so I was sure about this.

    Thanks.

    When snakes are babies they absorb most of the nutrients from their meals. So it is not uncommon for them to not poop a lot. Your snake will pee and poop when it is ready, so no worries.

    Hi,

    specially ballpythons will collect the stuff for a long time sometimes, so no worry, there should be everything ok,...
    best regards, Timo

    Thanks for that info. I just wasn't sure and wanted to ask.

    I will simply wait it out.

    Much appreciated.
