Shedding, pooping and peeing question

[Szhang]

This may be a stupid question, but I was wondering if it is normal for a ball python to not poop or pee during a shedding process.

My baby just ended the opaque eye stage or what not and he has clear eyes (kinda) now. But since 2 weeks ago, he hasn't peed or pooped.
His vent looks a little swollen, but I feel like its because of the shed that he's not pooping.

First time snake keeper and this is his first shed with me. So I'm just a little worried.

Thanks in Advance!!

No need to worry, and not a stupid question at all. That is very common. You will most likely see a nice stinky present next to the balled up shed once your BP is ready to shed.

Don't worry he will poop when he's ready.

I'm a little surprised, but you still have nothing to worry about. Was it a complete shed?

I am too, I've always heard that they poop and shed. And yes, a complete shed, eye caps and everything came off in 1 piece. He also hasn't peed the entire time he hasn't pooped. I don't know if that made sense, but he hasn't peed or pooped.

Some of mine like to wait a day or two after their shed to relieve themselves. I have no idea why.

I wouldn't worry about anything yet. He'll poop/pee when he's ready. Since the shed was a complete, one-piece shed I wouldn't sweat it.
