    You left out how long it has been, although BG thinks it wasn't too long. Don't worry about it yet, they can hold that "poop" for a long time. Although, we do need to know about your husbandry. Cold temps can be a problem, so can low humidity.

    Big Gunns will tell you what he told someone else. Put the snake on your head and BG can almost guarantee it will "poop".

    They can go awhile without pooping. I agree with what BG said. Another way to get them to poop sometimes is give them a bath in lukewarm water.

    Re: no poop?

    thanks for the inf, i know the warm bath always makes them poop. but before i make them poop myself i wanted to know if its normal.

    about time: there were 7days beetween each feeding and he was 7days here before i fed him , so he didnt poop in like 14days.

    he did poop 2 white balls , they are called urates if im not mistaken. he pooped one after each feeding.

    tempretures range in the heated side from 90 to 98 messured with a normal kitchen thermometre (my temp gun is shiped and on the way)

    I've had my snake for about a month. And he's eaten 6 mice in that time and STILL hasnt let them go out the other end.

    hmm intresting, seems these snakes take a while to poop unlike corns , at least my corn poops every week.

    Re: no poop?

    Yeah they really just go whenever no matter how long its been. My spider pooped 3 days ago and it was HUGE. Then just last night ANOTHER one that was also huge was in there, so go figure. Also i noticed that my Albino pee's ALOT like its soaked half the newspaper twice in the last few days. It definitely doesn't smell like water and its yellowish. Is it normal for them to pee so much? Sorry to threadjack.

    If they poop at all...............because sometimes, they just don't.

    It's fairly normal, and in most cases, not something you should worry about.
