Bathroom Question
My girl, Nimue, was fed on the 10th - and again on the 21st.
She has not pooped yet. She has peed A LOT - I've given her baths (well 2)
she does not feel to be blocked up. Her Feed day is the 1st. Should I wait til she poops?

Re: Bathroom Question
She'll poop when shes ready. You can go ahead and feed her.

Re: Bathroom Question
we just recently upped her size to small rats - she was eating the equivalent of a large mouse (3 small mice - the store by me didn't have lg mice) she's been on rats for a total of 5 feedings

Re: Bathroom Question
if there is no bulging or bloating, or if you slide her through your hands and don't feel anything hard I would go ahead and feed her.
If any of those other things exist I would double check your husbandry

She feels fine - nothing is hard, no bulging/bloating she's feels as she always does - I check the cage in the morning for urine/before I leave for school/when I get home/and before I go to bed - water is changed daily (sometimes 2 b/c she'll knock aspen into it)

Re: Bathroom Question
Boas can go a long time between poops. Months as adults.

Re: Bathroom Question

Re: Bathroom Question
If you can post a picture of her next to an object of standard size, I.e. soda can, etc, that can help a lot more than just staimg weights and lengths.
As long as her appetite is hood and you aren't feeling amy large masses abdominally, I'd chalk it up to what terra said.

Re: Bathroom Question
Well I feed all of my snakes weekly for the first year. Also what exactly do you mean by small rat. An adult mouse ( which is what you were feeding it) is about half the size of a small rat.
