How often does your Ball Python poo??

[squatsnstilettos]

Mine hasn't poo'd in 6 weeks. She is acting normal otherwise; eating, totally interactive, pee'ing, excreting urates, shedding...but she won't poo. I've tried giving her a warm bath but nothing. I'm worried At what point do I sound the alarms and take her to her Doctor?

This is about 6 weeks of mice don't worry too much ball pythons go when they go mine usually goes whenever she sheds hope this helps calm your nerves

This is something I was fearful about and looking into before I decided I could handle a BP - their excrement is not horrible like birds' (bird poo, UGH). However, I was reading that they generally "go" about as often as they eat (eat weekly, poo weekly, hence clean out the cage weekly) - is this not something to be super concerned about, if they're not having regular movements?

Nope! Mine usually go about every other feeding. If they are close to shedding they'll hold it even longer. Then I get a big present!!!!
I use an app called snake keeper that documents everything from feeding, weight, length, shedding, and poo!! After a short while you will start to see a "close" estimate at when to expect what. This changes pretty frequently with juveniles but can be pretty accurate for an adult. You can even export and e-mail yourself the statistics from the app. Most people don't do this, I just find it fun to go back and look at.

Ooo, that sounds a lot easier than trying to keep track of everything in a spreadsheet - I'm definitely going to check that out!! Thanks!

There is no set time frame for a ball python or most any snake to poo, they go when they need to go some times after being feed, sometimes not for weeks at a time.

My 13 yr old BP goes during shed, every 51-60 days.

My 5 1/2 -6' Boa ((don't know the age) goes every 45 days or so.

My BP just deposited his gift after 2 months. About 6 inches long and an inch diameter. I weighed my Monty a couple days ago, then I weighed him right after dropping a giant log.

Previous weight: 600G
just now: 555G.

This is the best bedframe for a snake keeper ever.

Babies every 5-10 days and adults 3 weeks - 1.5 months.
