    How often should my BP be pooping?

    Hi everyone! Me again! Gene just started eating about two weeks ago after not eating for 5 weeks or so. I'm wondering if everything is okay because I haven't seen any poop in his tank. Is this normal?

    Also, on a side note, he is getting HUGE! I know he was underweight, because the 'triangular' look and feel of his body is nearly gone, and he's getting longer, thicker. It is pretty awesome.

    Thanks!

    Rick

    Sounds like he's thriving just fine! It's normal for them to go a stretch of time without pooping...especially when they're growing a lot. I'm sure it's building up though, and he'll surprise you with a big ol' present before you know it. The way it sounds, he may shed soon...and it will likely all come out together with that.

    Just clean the tank. Every time I clean out my tanks it never fails that at least one will dirty it within the day. You have to love it.
