Re: my snake wont poop!
What is it eating?? Small/hairless prey dont leave much "waste" to get rid off.
If it is eating larger hairier prey - how many times had it eaten since its last poop and when was the last poop?

Re: my snake wont poop!
Snakes don't always poop after every meal. They poop on their schedule, not yours.

Re: my snake wont poop!
Fuzzy mice is nothing for a snake.. Your not feeding him large enough prey.

Re: my snake wont poop!
He can probably handle a large mouse. Can you post a photo of Oscar?

You can create one for free.
It's up to you if you want a real accurate opinion of what size prey to feed your snake...

Re: my snake wont poop!
You can "think" whatever you like, but you're wrong:
If he is 1.5 ft long, (babies are 12-14 inches at birth) he is MAYBE 6 months old and should be eating food items twice the size you're offering. He's not pooping because you are essentially starving him to death very slowly.
