    Whats the deal with poo?

    I've had my 6 month old normal for a month or so, He's taken 5 mice and shed once.
    Temps/Humidity good, He's 334 grams.

    There's no poo.

    A friend said all I'll be seeing is little white things the size of a pencil eraser, but I saw a thread on here with pictures of big ol turds.

    Such an awesome topic, can someone tell me about poo?

    Re: Whats the deal with poo?

    Young ball pythons do not poop very often. Their bodies absorb a lot of the nutrients from their meals. I have had my little male normal for a few weeks now and still have not seen any poop, but he sure does pee a lot and produce urates. This is all perfectly normal.

    Eat. Excrete. Rinse, lather, repeat.
    That's the deal with poo.

    Babies tend to absorb most of what they eat. I wouldn't worry to much, they will poop when they are ready. They big poo I had on here was from a male that is now 2062 grams, (I weighed him shortly after that ).
