    lol ya they do go a while without. it should poop soon. u will see them swelling up underneath right before their tail starts. and most likely any day they will go.

    I'd never complain about a Ball Python that poops on a schedule. I soak all my ball pythons at least once a week, more often if someone seems to be not pooping. The warm water and increased hydration helps.

    Most of mine go 3-4 weeks between poops, and do it while shedding... except for Delilah (sub-adult normal), who seems to go twice as often. Not sure why, since she eats the same meals & lives in the same rack as my others! Guess she's just a bubbly-gut kind of girl.

    P.S. My little Mojave pooped yesterday, and it was the BIGGEST turd I've seen from a baby... seriously, it was half the length of his body. I weighed him before & after, and he lost nearly 30g from that one - which is about 15% of his total body weight. Wow!
