Not Pooping
Just a quick question regarding about poop (lovely topic for my morning coffee/computer time LOL).
Baby is doing wonderful. Our only concern is that after passing urates and feces after her first two feeds, she's now gone 3 feeds with only urates and one very very small poop. Now she's alert, active, feeding extremely well and shedding fine but is there a point where we should intervene? The snake seems in fine shape so I'm not at all worried at this point just wondering what's "holding up the works" so to speak.
She is due to eat again this coming Monday night. If she doesn't pass more feces should we feed her anyways? I figure if she's aggressively eating she must be okay but am I wrong in that assumption?
What are the signs of impaction? What is the best method to get things moving again (I've read a few ideas but what generally works best and is least stressful to the snake?)
Thanks as always for your advice folks.

Re: Not Pooping
LOL I swear that damn snake knows when I post a question and then does what I was asking about herself to just embarrass me. Got up this early Sunday morning and nature had done it's job so to speak (my lord didn't know a lil snake could pass something that errr impressive!)

Re: Not Pooping
Wait till she gets a little bit bigger and you will start wondering if a Great dane took over her body...
