My snake hasn't pooped in 6 months!
Hi I'm new here.. So my female ball python hasn't pooped in 6 months. And I've been a little worried because she hasn't eaten in about 3 months (we've tried everything). I had her checked out and everything was fine they said she was perfectly healthy! Why hasn't she pooped yet from her last meal? I don't understand. She doesn't seem constipated, I see her drinking a lot lately. And today I put her in the tub to soak and weirdly she liked it today lol. Any suggestions or advice?

Take her out and do a real thorough cleaning of her enclosure. That should get her to go.

Well, if nothing goes in, then nothing comes out. More than likely she passed her last meal and it has been over looked. If you must though, then yes a thorough cleaning and heavy "rainfall" will usually get the desired feces.

Yeh they can't poop if they haven't eaten anything. What is the age/weight of the snake?

How big is she? What have you tried feeding her?
It is okay to use pine bedding for snakes.
It is okay to feed live food to snakes.

I know that if nothing goes in then nothing can come out. What I'm trying to say is she's eaten in the last 6 months she ate may June July 6 times and still hasn't pooped from that.

Is there a possibility of you missing/forgetting the defecation? Some specimens will release after a good shower...heavy misting of the cage.

No I'm sure I haven't missed anything! That's why I'm worried. She has peed but not pooped.
