    Han't poop in 4 or 5 days

    My roach guys has been out of roaches for over a month or two and id say about a two weeks ago i started feeding small to medium sometimes large superworms to my 14 in female. she hasn't pooped in over 5 days Could this be to impaction or.......... Im starting to get worried but i always worry myself to much and it never is a problem. Im going to buy 1000 crickets online tonight just to save myself some stress but if seen a lot of people feed just supers. I nevered planned on doing this but could this really set it that fast?

    Our adult male poos about 4-5 days sometimes twice a week, so I wouldn't worry to much yet but keep a close eye. I a warm soak loosens just about any reptile, with our male we soak him every few months and almost always lets out an explosion of poo. Might be worth a try in your case.

    Re: Han't poop in 4 or 5 days

    my girl is about 18 inches. We put her in the tub with water a little above room temperature, about 90 to 98 degrees or so. I let the tub get a couple of inches at the deepest part. I just put her in and let her soak for a while. When the water starts to get a little cool, I take her out. She really likes her bath time

    Well supers can be very high in fat sometimes, but she should be fine.. But if your worried about it still, you can do what I did: put a couple (NOT alot, maybe one or two) drops of olive/mineral/vegetable oil in an eye-dropper with some water or grapejuice r whatever, let her drink it, and if theres anything stuck in there it will leteraly 'slide out' I guess. lol.
