I brought home my blood python on Oct 2. It has eaten every week since I brought it home. However, I still have not seen any poop. Its about 17 to 18 inches now, has not shed since I brought it home, and it has not pooped, unless I just cant find the poop. I could always find my ball python's poop when I had one. But I dont remember how long it took it to poop the first time either.... Is this normal? I am thinking it is not pooping because it is still growing, and keeping every bit of nutrient its body can get ahold of, and that its body has no waste yet? Its behavior has not changed since I brought it home. I think it urinated in its water dish early this morning because there was some kind of white slimy stuff floating in it when I went to change it. Any help would be good please...

Took the snake to the vet yesterday. Vet found an impaction. Turned out to be a huge ball of urates that would not pass for some reason. After that came out, so did 2 huge snake turds.
