    fed my boy 2 hoppers today!

    So today is the second time I've fed my boy. Wife decided to buy him 2 hoppers instead of one. He took one like a champ, but waited awhile for the second one. He didn't take the second one right away because my friend was watching and I had the dogs in the herp room. I decided to leave it and go smoke, came back and it was gone with a very fat and happy ball looking at me

    So my question is, he didn't poop the last feeding. And he hasn't shed since I've got him, I'm expecting a shed now that he's fat. Should I keep an eye out? He's 5 months and a little under two feet.

    Young BP's use almost all of their food for growth so there is very little waste left after digestion. This means that a young BP doesn't need to poop very often. Some only do so after a shed. Your snake will probably shed soon. Just keep the humidity between 40% -60% until you see the BP go blue then boost it to 60% - 80%. That's all that's really necessary for a good shed.
