I have an adult Hog Island boa cross. The last time she pooped was 12/14/2021. She has been fed a medium sized rat every 2-weeks, yet she is not pooping. Does this warrant a trip to the Vet ?

Depends. Is there a hard mass near her vent? Does she look constipated? Some snakes will go a couple months without pooping. Boas sometimes do. She isn't fed a whole lot frequently (which is fine) so I wouldn't stress yet if there's no mass or she looks in distress.

Of course, if it makes you more comfortable you can have her x-rayed
