Emergency!

[kyle13404]

I bought a ball python at the Daytona Reptile Expo this year and he still hasnt pooped since i got him. It looks like he is swollen up near his tail. People that i have asked have said he might be constipated. Ive tried soaking him in warm water multiple times and he still hasnt gone. What can i do?

How long has it been? If he has "sausage butt" he could pop very soon. Also how often and what size prey are you feeding?

its been about a month and i feed him fuzzies but he hasnt eaten in a 2 or 3 weeks.

He may just save it up for a shed. Some like to wait to shed and poop all at the same time. He may just be saving it up lol

I have to agree with the others, doesn't sound like you need to get worked up. He will probably poop when he eats next or wait till he sheds thats what several of mine do. Could also be waiting for a nice clean tank, last time I did a complete tank cleaning I found a nice present waiting for me the next morning.
