How often do your ball pythons poop/pee?

[redshepherd]

Not exactly a question (and more of a rant about gross poops), but what makes ball pythons have such different rates of peeing/pooping?

Cake poops/urates only once every month and a half or more. I haven't weighed him properly lately, because he's outgrown the bowl I had for him to sit on the scale, but I'm guessing around 1000g. The last time he pooped, he waited 2 months before letting it go LOL. But my male BEL on the other hand (who weighs ~600g), literally poops/pees once every week and a half, sometimes even more! It's been very consistent. Mostly urates. He's always the one where I have to thoroughly clean his tub practically every week, so I remember.

Cake didn't even make a mess this often when he was even 200g! SMH. How often do your ball pythons poop/pee?

mine's like to poop right after i clean their enclosures.

Blackout holds out for once a month. But OMG is it massive when she lets go!

At the opposite end, most of ours that are around 500ish grams seem to let go about once a week, so I end up checking for mess at least once a day.

I would think it was related to size, but Mr. Bubbles is only a couple hundred grams smaller than Blackout, and he's a twice a month kind of guy.

besides that, most of mine poop every 2-3 weeks. my White Magic poops like every 2 months with his shed. he was 3 yrs old and 350grams when i got him and he has more than doubled since but i dunno if that has to do with anything. my baby Disco Inferno Pastel has been pooping every week. i bet when i get home today, he will have a nice lil present for me. my Fire Yellowbelly girl let out 2 big farts and pooped on Wednesday night. and u can actually see a big mass of poop in the upper right hand corner of this pix of my Super Cinny's tub. (she smelled the rat warming up and wouldn't let me clean, so i let her eat lol.) ok i'm all pooped out for now.


Edit: i should also add, mine pee about twice as frequently as opposed to their pooping. this one here seems to pee every other day.

Yzma poops maybe once a week or once every few weeks, but I often find urates. Usually every few days, but less as she's going into a shed now.

Penelope likes to wait until she sheds and poops in the shed so I can't get a "trophy". She's just over 1000g. I'm sure the hatchling I'm getting soon will be a bit more often.
