Why you no poop?

[Bogertophis]

Thanks everyone! I've heard that they'll defecate less frequently with age, I'm just not used to her going this long in between bowel movements.. typically she goes within a week or so of eating, so this was new for me.

When I took her out yesterday she definitely looked "full" right above her cloaca, so I'll give her another few days (a week?) to pass it before attempting to soak perhaps.

At least now I know not to be overly concerned if she takes a while between bowel movements. Thank you again!

They "defecate less frequently with age" because their prey is likewise more mature & takes longer to digest. Their bodies have evolved to make the most of their meals & it takes as long as it takes.

Handling a snake tends to shift things around some & promote defecation to some degree, so you may learn (as many of us have) to "handle with care" (or should I say "caution") when you see some swelling above
their cloaca. Forget this, and someday your snake will "remind you"...
