View Full Version : Boa Constrictor Imperator: how long from feeding to pooping?
Mine has been eating and not pooping since December the 22nd, she is about 6 months old and she eats a mouse per week. Everything else is fine, she's got all that she needs. Do you think I should intervene? I tried to read up on the net but there is too much contraditory information...
Thank you.

my boas usually poop once every two weeks. Sometimes they'll go for longer than that. My female hasn't pooped in three weeks so I expect a big surprise soon. Just make sure humidity is up to par, fresh drinking water is available at all times and they will be fine...unless they have some underlying health issues.
Ok thanks, she'll be fine then :)

Has she shed yet? My BCI usually didn't poop till they shed (so about once a month) but occasionally they would go sooner.
Not yet, babies should shed once every few weeks if I understood well, correct?

Yeah, I think usually once a month but it also depends on their growth rate. Less growing=less shedding.
Maybe she's waiting to do everything together to save time... such a smart girl.

My boa will usually poop in her shed. She always rolls her sheds up into little balls, and I always find poop in it. makes it nice and easy to clean up, but hard to get a good shed skin to keep : /
lol, nice family albums...... family pictures are always a bit like that :\
