A little background- my snake, Evelyn, has just turned 3 months old. I've had her for about 1 month, and I've fed her 3 times so far. A few days ago I offered food again, and she didn't take it.
I can understand why she mightn't because she hasn't pooped once since I've had her. I feel like she is a little more lumpy than she should be in places, and she has a definite bulge at her cloaca.
I've tried researching it, and I guess I've found its normal for some ground snakes to go without defecating for quite some time, but Evelyn is still growing, and I'd expect that she would be using all the nutrients she can to do so, and, with a plentiful food supply, take in more when it's offered. The other corn snakes I've worked with seem to poop pretty regularly.
Idk if I'm making too big a deal of this, or if it's something I should be genuinely concerned about. Any information or advice would be extremely helpful!
