    Concerns.

    My BP seems to have a problem with digesting...or lack thereof. She doesn't go too often. Every once in a while I'll find a urate or two, but as for poo, hardly ever. I think she's due for a poo.

    It has also been quite some time since her last shed as well. The only reason I can think of is that we recently had to move. Perhaps it is the new environment?

    Re: Concerns.

    If she's not pooping or shedding much, is she growing? How big is she and what's she eating weekly?

    Yea, they defecate pretty sporadically. Mine go every few weeks or so.. as long as your temps/caging are correct and your snake is eating, this is normal.

    Well if you think about it one mouse really does not equel to much meat. So she is absorbing everything.

    If yours is pooing that much you are probably over feeding her/him.What are you feeding it? How often are you feeding it?
