General Health advice

I have 2 corn snakes both approximatly 3 years old. I have only had them both for about a month they were both fed on friday and as of yet they have not pooped I posted a thread about this before and someone mentioned putting them in a shallow bath, how shallow should this be I tried my girl one in it with a small amount of water but still no poop. Usually they have both pooped by at least tues. when should I start to be concerned.

Also I have managed to weigh the girl she is roughly 129cm and weighs 580g she seems to be a lot fatter than the boy but she hasnt be excercised as much.

I also noticed today when I put her back in that she was burying in a new plant that I have just potted and put in her vivarium is this normal.

Don't worry. Snakes aren't like mammals. Food doesn't come out as regularly as it goes in. :) Mine will "hold it" for a more than a week (usually if he's in shed). I would only start to worry if the snake is acting sick AND it hasn't pooped in a long time.

And burrowing is normal for corn snakes.
