Not pooping....

[Janus]

So I've fed my BP 2 mice in the past 7 days. But he has yet to take a dump (or at least, if he has I havent found it). Should I refrain from feeding him any more until he defecates?

[Shelby]

Nope he's fine. My blood pythons only poop every month or so (they are fed weekly) and my big female dumerils boa hasn't pooped since I got her (Oct 8th)

[mr~python]

your BP's fine. mine usually only go every 4-6 weeks.

[Janus]

good to know, I'll feed him again tonight (he's a great eater)

[mr~python]

yeah, that's the beauty of it. they dont go every other minute like a bird or hamster. no offense against birds or hamsters but sheesh. lol.

[Karma]

man.. mine's a poop machine then. she goes a lot compared to the ones listed above. o.O

[Shelby]

My baby colubrids poop at least once a week. The sand boas seem to poo more too. It's the bigger ones that hold it longer.

I've got a big female ball that usually waits about 4-5 meals before dropping a load. And when she does...you don't wanna be there for that....

[Shelby]

Haha.. yeah. Meatball my male blood python dumped a german shepherd sized load last week. He lost .7 pounds doing that, and he only weighs 4.3 lbs!
