defecation

[Dev_Man]

how often do ball pythons defecate??? I've had mine for 4 days and he's urinated twice, but he hasn't pooped:p

[reptilez]

mine poops about 2-3 times a month.

[Andy_G]

Mine poops once or twice a month, but I find urates about once a week.

From July 02 to July 03 Ghans has defecated 13 times.
Usually once a month or with every shed. Also usually once for every 3 meals.

Mine urinates 2-3 days after his meal, I haven't noticed much poop from him though. Is that normal?

[Andy_G]

Yeah it's normal Monty. Don't worry, only worry if your ball stops eating and hasn't pooped in about 6 weeks, then he/she is probably constipated. Usually all you need to do is place it in warm water and massage the tail area gently...just the bit of extra info in case you need to know what to do in the future. :)

[BoidKeeper]

Before you can say it's normal you need to know when the last time it defficated was.

The last time he pooped was about 4 weeks ago.

[BoidKeeper]

Sorry Monty I also should have asked how many meals he's had since is last deffication and when his last shed was.

He's had 3 meals before last defecation and the last time he shed was last week
