    Where's the poop?

    So my normal female seems to have a bad case of sausage butt...She hasn't pooped (or peed, as far as I can tell) in about a month! I know people say not to worry too much, but it looks uncomfortable. I bumped up her humidity because I thought she might be dehydrated, but still nothing. She's still eating well. Should I give her a soak or just wait for nature to take its course? If I do soak will that ease the um, passing at all?

    Not gonna lie, I'm not looking forward to seeing the carnage when this thing finally gets released...

    Most of mine only go when they shed, which is sometimes months apart. No worries.

    Yes sometimes a warm soak will help the release. Sometimes a little handling letting them move through your hands helps too. I've been crapped on three times by my BPs.

    Another trick to get them to poop is a good cleaning. Mine love to pee a bit then wait for me to clean their tub before dropping the mother load. I'm almost certain if my snakes had hands they'd be wringing them diabolically whilst pooping 30 seconds after I drop fresh paper.

    Re: Where's the poop?

    Of course as soon as I make a post...Last night she finally peed and passed some big lumpy urates, she looks a lot better. And her belly looks a little pink now...hopefully she'll go when she sheds. I'll just wait for now...thanks all!
