my corn has been pooping regularly everyday for around 4 months.. it's been a couple of weeks now that he's not, he's pooping like once a week, and it's not much poop.. should i be worried? should i bath him in warm water to stimulate or is it normal?..

so well, the overall question is: how often does your corn poop??

thank you!
 
My two corns poo about three days after eating. That is unless we are talking about shedding, in which case they may hold it two weeks before dropping a load either in or next to their newly shed skin.
 
My corns poo anywhere from a few times between feeds to one huge lot a couple days after a feed (depending on the snake)

If they're little, it's easy to miss some of the smaller poo...they're experts at hiding it out of the way.

And there's nothing wrong with a tepid bath to try and stimulate some poo action if you're worried. I swear our yearling boy just saves it up for the bath. And our newest girl seems to be much the same way. I've only once cleaned poo out of her viv (and I do check daily, because she's big enough that it's hard to hide), but she's gone every time I've put her in water, so I do it weekly to make sure she stays regular.
 
I would be worried about seeing poop everyday to be honest. I don't see how a snake would have that much waste unless it was being overfed. I'm not saying you are overfeeding just that I don't get it. My snakes will poo 1-3 times between feeds and are fed once a week. . .
 
I've had my corn for nearly 1month & in that time she's pooped 2 or 3times. She tends to poop a few days after a feed, once a week. But she recently shed & at that point she didn't poop for nearly 2weeks. She then did as BigByrd said & pooped in her shed skin.
 
no no im pretty sure im not overfeeding. one fuzzy now, every 6 days. btw, i discovered two poops, i just didnt noticed.. so i guess it's all ok :) thanks everybody!
