    Re: Help ! is my BP constipated ??

    Anyway, maybe that's normal, but I'd like to have some suggestions...

    Also, I read in a book that her stools shouldn't be watery, well it is, and it isn't one solid white part and one solid black part, first, it is white-yellowish-watery-"jelly like", and then she doesn't discharge the black part for more than a week or so.
    She's had this kind of yellowish discharge for about a year (i guess), i thought it was normal until i read in the book that it shouldn't be that way. What do you think ?

    Thank you ...
    If she hasn't eaten in 3 weeks, then she doesn't have anything to push the poop through her system.
    A snake can go months without pooping. My snakes don't poop unless they have consistent and regular meals. If they go off-feed, they stop pooping (for obvious reasons). My snakes are fed once or twice a week and some of them don't poop every week. Maybe once a month.

    Is the yellow discharge poop or urates. Urates are yellow/white hard stubstances. That is normal for snakes. It can be watery when it first comes out sometimes.

    So unless your snake isn't acting normal or looking ill, I would think your snake is ok.
