    They can go months. If you get up to the 4 month mark, soak her once a while in a warm bath. Mine usually go after they shed. Longest my girl went was 5 months.

    Mine used to do that, but after a while, they turned into very aggressive feeders.

    Yeah, I wouldn't worry. My BP hasn't pooped yet but my corn snake is a pooping machine! lol
    I'm not afraid of snakes, because I got Balls!

    What I mean when I say aggressive feeder, is more like "overly-enthusiastic-throw-myself-out-of-the-tub-to-get-that-rat-im-so-hungry-feed-me!!"

    They are perfectly calm snakes any other time.

    Re: How long does it take

    I'm not sure how old she is. she's around 540 grams and 24 inches. Does any one have an idea. I was told 3 1/2 months when I got her 2 months ago.

    Re: How long does it take

    Mine went 7 months without dropping a deuce and my Vet wasn't the least bit surprised by that. As long as your husbandry is solid your Blood will eventually push a bear out of the cave. It will leave you shaking your head wondering "what in the hell are they up to?" but it's par for the course.
