Poop question

[omglolchrisss]

I got Jeffree on the 9th of August and there's only been one poop since I've had him/her should I be worried?

Is he feeding OK? Also, is he depositing urates?

I've had snakes go about 1-2 months between poos, but they typically still deposit urates, etc. I'd be concerned if he wasn't drinking and looked dehydrated and if he had a very very large bulge (sausage butt) that felt hard...in which case, soaking him might help. But normally, if there are no other signs, it is not a big deal.

Yup Jeffree eats like a champ only refused the first day I got him. I find urates and wet spots every once in awhile I think he does have slight sausage butt it doesn't look abnormally big to me here's a picture.

Often they will just poop right after shedding, which is about every six weeks. Unless they are being fed an inordinate amount of food they will mostly just deposit urates and urine in between. If they are pooping frequently, then you may want to cut back on the food to ensure they aren't getting fat or fatty liver disease. A solidly toned snake is good, a fat snake is not.

I think Jeffery is ok. That's a tiny sausage butt. Nothing to worry about. Boop hasn't pooped in a while either.
