no poo--in blue--feed again?

I fed my snake last wednesday..he hasnt pooped yet and is in blue..how long should we wait for him to go?? he hasnt gone more than about 4 days before but i did goo from pinkies to a fuzzy this time...My leopard gecko got sick ..we tried to save him but he just died today :-offtopic I dont want the snake to get sick and he dies too..so my mom cleaned up the snakes viv and no poo..but a good thing no regurge either I tried to look at it at its vent nothingn seems to be out of shape ..so maybe i shouldnt be so worried ..

That is a pretty long time for him not to have pooped but the only thing you can do is wait. Whenever I hold my corn, he finds it necessary to poop on me. Not quite sure why but I believe this is because of being relaxed or the amount of energy being exerted. He also could despise me and do it for fun. With your snake in blue, most recommend not holding them, but if your are really concerned, go for it.

I don't think the size change has anything to do with it, but it is good that there is no regurge. Also, do you feed him in his cage? Because substrate could get into his system and block up his "poop shoot." Maybe the blue-phase he is in is causing him not to poop? If he doesn't poo for another week or so, I would think about making a trip to the vet.

I feed him in a different place than his home..he has never pooped on us when we hold him only in his viv..well ill keep looking for it thanks

Some people recommend bathing a snake to help it 'go.' I don't personally know anything about this, but run a search and you might get some info.

I wouldn't worry about it, yet. If you feed him, this might stimulate him to poo. Keep us informed. :cheers:

4 days? Clinton has gone for more than a week.

He usually waits until just after he sheds to poo. I bet your snake will go right after it sheds. Don't worry about it.

Also, fuzzies are ... well ... fuzzy. Adding that extra fiber to the snake's diet probably mixed things up a bit. Not necessarily in a bad way.

when i bath my lil girl she goes crazy and swims to the bottom and she will poop everything out. she likes a nice warm bath.

I have to second Ernie on this one. A lot of my snakes will hold their poo until they've shed. It is nothing to worry about.

Ernie, your probably right, but I think he means 8 days (when he posted).

yeah 9 days now..well i thank you for the advise..i will wait til after he sheds and then let you know...you are all very helpful..

btw, I hope that bath wasn't too warm. Warm to us is hot to them.
