When I first got Behira, she didn't poop for a month, even though she was eating weekly. I asked the breeder and he said she would poop when ready.Originally Posted by svtvenom
She pooped about a week later and has been going every 2-3 weeks since.
Sometimes it's just an adjustment period for them. I know some snakes will wait to poop if they are shedding. Then they leave you two presents; shed and waste! Has he shed yet? Is he due?
I imagine, from some of your other posts, that you are still meticulous with keeping temps and humidity proper. Obviously, if temps especially are off, or he is dehydrated, etc. he might not poop, or have trouble pooping.
As long as husbandry is good and he has access to clean drinking water, I wouldn't worry unless he stops eating, or starts acting strange, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a huge poop soon and loses close to 10% of his body weight though!
Behira was up to about 510G and when she had her first poop, went down to 460G! Nothing quite so big since, but there can be a lot - LOL!
