Constipated Snake?

[skinnyrascal]

My girl Kleo ate two hoppers last week and one this week (Friday). However I still haven't seen any waste left in the tank, whereas Oliver went twice in that period of time. Should I be worried? Will she just go on her own when it's time?

The ambient temp is around 70 but definitely hotter on the warm side, underneath her log. There it can get up to 90 degrees. I can't do much else about the temp unless I turn her lamp on, but then I have to be careful so that it doesn't get too hot and dry in the tank.

Your snake will poop when it is ready. That ambient air temperature is too cold. You really need to try and bring that up to at least 75 and no lower.

They go when they are ready to go. But I also agree 70 air temp is low you should try to bring that up some.

Yeah, I had a feeling it was too low. I'll leave her lamp on during the day. I used to have it on most of the time but stopped when I thought the "winter weather" was over. But living in MA, you can never really know when that is. :[ I just hope she's alright.

Wow...what a difference one day can make! I left the lamp on and by late afternoon she had went. It seems she reeeally had to go hahaha.

Most reptile issues often can be traced back to husbandry. It is why everyone will ask about it. It is not always the case but often.
