When will she defecate?
My little 200g pastel fem has ate like 5-7 hopper mice, but still hasn't crapped! When do you guys think this little sassuage will? Lol i feed her every 4-5 days.

Re: When will she defecate?
My understanding is that, bowel movements are very animal specific, time wise. However 5-7 hoppers (for me) would almost be a concern. Feeding every 4-5 days equates to 20-25 days without a poo. I would start giving warm baths to try to get some movement.
For what its worth, I currently have a 200g pastel that takes a hopper every 3 days and presents me with a gift every 10-14 days according to my notes.
When was the last shed? My 7 year old normal will 'save it up' before a shed.

Re: When will she defecate?
warm bath is a great idea! ive had to do it before. just put my butter in a tub with warm water and 10 minutes later he pooped all up in it.... i was just trying to help him with the shed at the time. had to give him a bath so i could get all the poo water off him though. its not a pretty sight

Warm water is a real great idea, What kind of substrate do you use and is their a possibility it is hidden under it or in a hide

Re: When will she defecate?
Younger Snakes will poop less often due to growing at a faster rate, thus absorbing the meal more. My hatchlings go about 1-2 months between poops.
My adults poop once every 4-6 weeks.

Feed her bigger meals and she will go...Hopper Mice are for hatchlings.

Re: When will she defecate?
I've had my BP for about 3 weeks now and I've yet to see it leave a stinky. Not that I'm complaining. I'm just use to my dog crapping every 3 hours, so its a pleasant change.

Pick it up and put it on your head for a few minutes. BG can almost guarantee it will go.
