Hi all, i'm getting a bit worried as Queenie, my coastal python has not had a poop for nearly 2 weeks now. Should i be worried or should i do something or will it all be ok?
She is eating normally, and isn't snappy.
Can't feel any lumps in her tummy. Just not sure what too do.
Thanks |

If she was feeling a little stressed could this make her hold on?
Is it ok to feed her if she hasn't pooped yet?

How often are you feeding the snake? I have not fed some of mine for nearly 8-9 weeks, and as such, they have not yet soiled their cages within this time. Some of my animals however are not fed until they have passed fecal matter due to the risk of prolapse.
Has your snake produced any uric acid deposits? |

They usually know what theyre doing!

Might give her a warm bath tomorrow. What temp do you have the water at?
Hope she poops soon.

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Feb-06 Location: australia | | | | just be careful of the water temps.
If it feels warm to us, it is hot to them.
I know a bloke that did that to his snake and killed it.
Doubt that that happens much though

Could be just the way that snake is, I have one that hangs onto it for until the next feed.........even though that's usually only monthly in her case. |

Cheers
