I asked in a Facebook group yesterday. My ball Python hasnt since he ate either - apparently the answer was "each ball python is different" some do it when they shed, some do it every 2 weeks etc.. Mine hasnt even wee'd since I had it. (last saturday)

Please keep in mind that snakes tend to have slow metabolisms, and ball pythons may have the slowest of them all.

In addition, young BPs use a LOT of what they eat for gaining size. There shouldn't be much left over for waste. And, that's actually a good thing.

Strip down its cage and clean it real good.....I bet it poops after that.

ROFL. That's pretty much the way it works.

Yes it is. Continue to feed on a regular schedule.

It will poop when its ready. Taking it out for exercise can move things along too.

Mine went about a month before it pooped. You'll know when it goes. The whole room will know...
