Python hasn't pooped in 2 feedings, thoughts?

[neurotic88]

Hi all,


Static has been acting normal and eating every 7 days as per normal too.

But I usually need to spot clean his tank every 5 days or so after he eats, but he hasn't seemed to have pooped in his last two feedings.

Is this a cause for concern? today is his sheduled feeding day, but since he was blue 2 days ago I figured I would wait a few days, and also see if he poops.

Thoughts?


Thanks!

He will unload after his shed, or possibly during.

My BP tends to save it up for one great big surprise. At times its 3-4 weeks worth of fun in one pile..lol

What Jay said, a lot of times they will go while they shed. Its normal for them to go a few feedings before going too. My guys usually have a few meals before they release.

Excellent!

Thank you all for your replies, I figured it wasn't a huge deal to be worried with.

But wanted to be sure ;)

I had the same question about my boa... she hasnt pooped after her meal and feeding day is tomorrow, so I'm wondering if I should go ahead and feed her keep in mind shes a may hatch so just a baby

my corn didn't poop for 3 meals, 2 days ago, she left me the biggest, smelliest poop I've ever seen, and just to be extra nice, she left it on top one of her hides instead of in the bedding!!

My Boas and Ball Python can go 3-5 feedings without leaving their deposit, but my Grey Banded King is a regular pooping machine, i swear he poops at least twice after every meal:D
Elvis also makes it somewhat easier for me by leaving it in his water bowl for me to find, lol

Go ahead and feed. She will poop when she needs to.

ok good so no need to worry

she escaped this morning from a latched tank this morning... funny thing is when we looked at the tank it was completely closed and empty

Nope no need to worry. Did you find her?? I hope so and You need to look over the tank very carefully. They can get through the smallest places. If they can get their head through they can get out.

lol I did find her it took us 20 minutes she managed to get out and coil underneath my husband's briefcase in the corner of the office,

the tank is ok I need to double check the screen.... but other than that its a mystery

If it is a glass fish aquarium just make sure that you use a few extra latches to hold the screen lid down. Those little buggers can get out of insane small gaps and they can push pretty hard to lift the lid enough to get out if its not really secure. Glad you found her.

no its an exoterra reptile tank the screen is ok there's a teeny gap on one side but I doubt its big enough to get her nose through so I cant see her getting out that way

ah well its a mystery now there's a padlock
