Hi guys, so I fed my 3yr old BHP 12 days ago and he hasn't poo'd yet. Since the general rule is to wait till they've done a poo before feeding I haven't offered him one yet, however it's past his feeding date so I'm wondering if I should feed him or just keep waiting for a poo.
Any help is much appreciated,
Josiah
 
What are you feeding it? At 3years old a bhp would be on some big rats if not rabbits

And therefore getting fed like once a fortnight, monthly
 
Ok then at that size (you should upsize)

He will poo when he needs to, feeding him before he poos won’t do any harm

Also won’t do him any harm if u wait 2months for it
Thanks Herptology, I just didn't want to feed him before he poos' because BHPs' are prone to fatty liver disease.
Also I'v been told that a weanling is just just fine for a 3 ft snake so I might keep him on that for a bit or at least until I'v used up all the weanling rats ;)
