Pooping and shedding question
I have a 6-7 month-ish ball python, she is in a 36"X12"X20"high tank with mesh top. Hot side at 86F cool side at 77F humidity 52%. She is on aspen bedding and her last weigh-in was 155.6 grams on December 6th (yes, I keep a snake log, sad, I know lol)
She eats 2 rat pups a week. I got her in August and she's only pooped 3 times since then. I find urates regularly but only 3 poops. She doesn't show any signs of impaction, she's not swollen, eats really well and is active.
Also, she can't seem to shed on her own. She can get the whole head clear no problem but after that I have to bathe her and help her out. When I do that she gets the rest of it in 2-3 pieces (in my hands). When I see her in blue I add a 3rd water dish in her tank and mist her but she still can't shed properly. What am I doing wrong??
I know balls are different than corns but I have 3 corns, they eat on Sundays, poop on Wednesdays (pretty much on the clock!) and always shed in one piece.
What more can I do?
