    not eating

    my bp stopped eating at the end of october, and seems perfectly healthy, ive been qeighing her every day and shes not losing any weight, but ive notied that she isnt defecating. the last time i noticed poop in her cage was about 2-3 weeks ago. I know they go off feed randomly, but do they stop pooping as well or is this something i should seriously worry about? im only asking because the nearest vet that cares for snakes isan hour and a half away and i cant take the trip unless im positive its serious enough, but i am definitely concerned about this

    that was my logic too, if it doesnt eat it doesnt poo
    ive been soaking her in some warm water for the past 4 days and still nothing
