Mysterious Missing Feces...

[cute_snakeyface]

My feeding schedule completely revolves around my snake. I don't have her on a schedule per-say, I simply feed her when she gets hungry.

Seems pretty easy to tell when she's hungry, she becomes more active in her tank. We handle her regularly, and when she's not hungry, she goes all over the place. When she's hungry, she's just wants to slither downdowndown. I presume she wants to go down to look for mouse holes in my carpet...

I fed her a mouse last night. I couldn't afford a second one though :\ hard times. She's still a little hungry, but she's all snuggled up in her hide right now.

3 mice in two months for a yearling ball is barely a diet that will keep them alive. because she's being fed so rarely, you're not gonna see poop. She's using EVERYTHING to stay alive.
"Rough times" or not, you should be feeding her an appropriately sized rat once a week.

^^^^^
agree with mykee

imo your only giving enough food to stay alive

you need to start feeding every 7 to 10 days

or better still every 7 days until your snake gets up to its proper wieght

you don't need to wait for a snake to poo before feeding it

$2 or so for a mouse is hardly "i cant afford one"

ride a bike to work, eat a little cheaper, etc etc.

sorry to seem like a ****, but you're making the poor thing suffer because you cant justify a $2 a week investment.
