I've had my first ball python for about 5 months now. I've moved to a new house and my ball was acting fine for the first few weeks since the move but the last few weeks he's been behaving...differently. He's been very inactive. I haven't seen him leave his hide voluntarily in at least 2 weeks and I haven't been able to find any stool in his tank. He eats once a week and usually poops in between feedings. So 2 weeks ago I fed him and he didn't poop that week. I waited a few extra days and decided to offer him food and he took it no problem. Its now a week after that, time to feed again, and still I can't find any stool....I soaked him in warm water hoping that would help but its been 2 weeks and 2 mice and no poop! Is that weird?? Should I offer him food again?
Also he hasn't shed or shown signs of preparing to shed in about 2 months....
Tank humidity is 71
Warm side is around 81F
Cool side is around 67F
He looks perfect and is active and inquisitive when I handle him. I have heard of snakes going off food in the colder months of the year but he's still eating fine....just a slower metabolism maybe and thats why hes staying in his hide and not pooping? But should I keep feeding him if he's eating?? I just want to take care of him properly...any input would be awesome.
Thank you.
