Ball python going to bathroom question

[Maddumpling]

How many times can a ball python poop in a week? I think my ball python has pooped 2 days straight. Lol

lol, I wouldn't be too concerned about it, they usually don't do it often but just twice doesn't sound bad.

Size also determines how often they go. For example my smaller ones go every two weeks usually while one of my bigger ones (I've had for about 3 weeks) has yet to go.

Usually they don't go more than once every couple of weeks (at the MOST), but every so often they'll poop 2-3x in a week... usually if they've held it in for a long time, like during a lengthy shed cycle. I wouldn't worry unless it's runny, or if they just keep going and going.

P.S. Today one of my baby mojos went poop, and decided the best time was while sitting on my lap. WHY do they always do that?!

Lol, I haven't had the pleasure of that happening yet.

Oh just wait, you will... sometimes it seems like they purposefully wait until they're on your lap!

The Pastel male pees on hubby every chance he gets.

Hubby is jealous because he's "My snake".

[do snakes whizz on their perceived "rivals"?]....LOL

They all seem to have their own pattern for pooping. One of mine will ONLY go after a shed (and it's HUGE!), the other poops every few weeks but in smaller amounts. As long as the poop is a good consistency and there are no signs of impaction, I wouldn't worry.
