    Try cleaning the cage. That always works for me.

    This. Sometimes when I clean I find poop I didn't even know was there.

    My lil guy usually poops within a day or two after I feed him. You can almost set your clock to it.

    Try letting her swim in a tub/sink with warm water. I soaked my snake for just a few minutes to help remove a little stuck shed and he ended up pooping in the water... and it was A LOT of poop.

And trust me, YOU'LL KNOW when they are going to go soon. They get all swelled up around their vent... Whatever you do DON'T push or you will end up with snake poop all over you. The first time I noticed my female all swollen I was like "wahhhh eggs?" NOPE! Just a whole lot of snake poo... all over me.
    Lol, I never want to squeeze. I know she doesn't seem to have a whole lot yet, so we will see.

    She's getting a soak later this week, so we will see.

    Probably, most animals are smarter than we give them credit for.

    Btw, what's "A lot of poop"? You guys have me worried. Haha

    "A lot of poop" for me is just a turd you wouldn't think would come out of your snake, haha! I've seen some small poops and some monstrous poops from my snake. Either one is nothing to be worried about. Just be happy that she's getting it out!

    Re: How often does your BP go to the bathroom?

    One of my snakes tends to hold it for a month, then let loose all at once. It's vile. My roommate thought I was kidding when I said it was like the size of my CAT'S poop...but lo, it was. She was horrified.

    Seriously, it's nothing to worry about if the animal is acting normal.

    It has always amazed me that a two pound snake can produce a poop like a 20 pound dog.
