In the past about five or six days after a meal farkus had a urate, and within the next day or so a poo. But now she just gave a poo and she's had two meals over a month period, do you find it weird that she jumped like that? I know its normal for a ball to poo once a month or so.........so what do you think.

No such thing as a weird poo cycle. Do you poo like clockwork? Neither do snakes. I have balls that poo once a month, and I have balls that poo once every ten days or so, there is no 'normal' when it comes to poo cycles, all balls are different.

What i meanty was that her poo's were consistantly about five or six days after a meal. Then all of a sudden no poo for a month. I understand that snakes habits differ from one to another, but im talking on an individual basis.

My ball python usually passes a urate a few days after a meal and poops once a month, but sometimes it happens more/less often with the urates and poop so even an individual won't always poop at the same time interval after a meal. If the poop is normal, don't worry about it.

That's what I'm saying, poo 'cycles' vary even in individual snakes too. I just let my snakes poo when they want. The alternative I don't think has been invented yet, though I'm sure Flukers is on it....snake enemas.
