    Question BP hasn't gone poop in weeks.

    My just over a year old BP hasnt been pooping in a few weeks recently. She's eaten every week for the last 4 weeks and only urnated once. But so far it looks like she hasn't properly defecated in a long time.

    Is this something I should be worried about? She is healthy if she's eating.

    Nope. Don't worry about it. They will go when they go.

    The "sausage butt" is always a good indicator. You'll know when he's about to go.

    My hatchling did 1 poop and pee 16 days after I got her. 12 days later, another pee and a tiny speck of a poop. 12 days after that, just a small urate. She's eaten all 5 meals for us, (1 rat pup per week.)

    As Deb explained to me, young snakes are extremely good at utilizing everything out of their food and water.

    My boys are similarly unpredictable. Harvey will let it go big twice in a week for no reason, and Mikey will not let go of anything but a little pee. Then, they switch. Since it's Thanksgiving, I'm thankful that everything is dry almost all the time! But, it it's not, it's ok as long as it doesn't happen repeatedly.

    My adult poops about once a week but pees nearly every day. Sometimes a little and sometimes massive pees. Each snake is totally different.
