    Re: problem feeder and no poop?

    So she is about 1500g give or take.

    My best advice is to stop worrying. Many ball pythons will go off feed for no apparent reason. I have noticed my girls over 1000g will often fast for a few weeks and then start eating again.

    Also quit worrying about when they poo. They will go when they need to go. It can be as short as 5 days, or as long as 6 weeks. As long as she is drinking water she will be fine. If you haven't seen any urates, it might be worth it to give her a short soak in 85* water.

    well i just weighed in yesterday at 1103g and its been 5 weeks since her last feed. and i just yesterday found a heeping mound of fresh poo. lol

    yeah theirs been urates just no poo. ok well just wanted to know about how long can they go without pooping.

    yeah i figure she will eat eventually. i figure before breeding season she might get back in the swing of things. not that shes breeding yet but she is more of a fierce feeder around oct. nov.

    not that i wont try feeding her in another week.
