    LMAO... you should see what Mona (5-footer) leaves me sometimes. Puts my 40lb dog to shame!

    And yeah, they usually wait until shedding to poop - it's always a lovely mess of shed skin, poop & pee, especially with the bigger snakes. I actually like how they do that, since you get the cleaning done in one shot. Also realize that BPs of any age can go weeks without defecation, so that's typically nothing to worry about unless they seem otherwise unhealthy. My younger ones tend to go every other week, sometimes every 3 weeks, and the big ones can easily wait 4-6 weeks between poops. Wish the dog worked like that, LOL.
