    BP Poop question?

    How often should a snake poop/pee if fed once a week. The reason I ask is I have two ball python males in tubs and every day there is either poop/ pee or white pellets? As stated they are fed once a week! Thank you

    I remember when I use to monitor the poop cycle, but overtime I think it just depends on the snake itself. Wet pellates are there urates.

    My bp will drop a bomb maybe once every 2-3 weeks. It's literally a bomb! I have a video I uploaded here but it was taken down due my outrageous reaction lol

    Re: BP Poop question?

    I keep a log (pun intended)!
    Mine is a little under five months old, 215ish grams. I just went over it and there's really no schedule. There have been three days between, and there have been 10.

    I didnt know if I was possible keeping it to warm and speeding up the digestive tract( in the bad way) and it wasnt allowing proper digestion.

    Re: BP Poop question?

    I can't really say, I'm new to this. If you're monitoring your husbandry accurately and everything is within normal range, I'd say that's not the problem. If something is off, then maybe.
    You should probably post your temps and humidity and how you're monitoring them. Eventually someone with a lot more knowledge will reply and they will need that information to accurately assist.
    Posting it now will save you a step to your answer
