    My boa hasn't pooped for ages!!

    My boa was very difficult to feed for what seemed like an eternity but for the whole of the summer he has taken a large rat weaner weekly. He shed 2 days ago, but hasn't pooped for about a month - is this normal? He seems fine. My ball python 'poops' weekly, but will only eat jumbo mice (always regurgitates rat weaners)
    Not sure if this should cause concern ie the boa
    btw he is about 16 inches long

    Usually they will around the time they shed.

    relax. I have a boa that eats small rats and will eat about 7 rats before pooping. As long as the husbandry is correct it is not a concern.
