and when it comes to poop... sometimes they just scare you and do stuff other animals cannot do and put up a dramatic display.

check this thread: ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?200510-HOLY-CRAP!-literally

its a bit like an earthquake in the san francisco area, they happen, and if they stop happening like they should, pressure builds up and something dramatic will happen.

You need to balance mainly between two choices: reptile vet, or wait longer. A bath in clean, lukewarm water, no additives, just a regular bath for a snake, may help. Having the temps and other husbandry right will help. Dont stop feeding just because it stops pooping is another rule of thumb.

And as time passes, chances for one big poop-event that solves all problems are going up, also chances that something is really wrong and you need a real expert and maybe real intervention are going up.

Fortunately we have real experts on this forum. What helps them most and causes them to respond in a useful way is: share pictures of the snake, showing it just as it is, but also pictures of the belly, different perspectives. And share more details about the current husbandry, there is a list of questions stickied in the husbandry section, titled "HELP US HELP YOU!! -- A Help Request Questionaire".


Right now things dont sound too bad, but without pictures its hard to tell.
