Its been about two weeks and ive feed him twice. I havent found any remains of poop. Ive dug all around in his giant viv but havent found anything. Ive found two TINNY little nuggets of something. They were about half the size of a pencil and roundish in shape. Apsen was stuck on them. And it was blackish in color.


My question is: How often do hatchlings poop and what does it look like? Could my little guy be constipated?
 
poop should be somewhere between runny and solid, bit like bird poo.
ur hatchling poo will be small, my hatchling usually poops around 48 hours after feed. it will be pretty small, by the sounds of it uv found the right stuff n its jus dried out a bit in the aspen. Try this link for some suggestions

Quote by icklemoose - Nope not weird at all Have a dig around in your aspen, it's very possible there's some poop in there somewhere. I have mine on paper towels so it's easy to see, some still fool me though by pooping right on the bottom and I don't see it for a day or so. If you get the feeling your snake isn't passing anything, a quick swim helps. Put them in a container with a few inches of tepid water (if it feels warm to you it's too warm) and let them swim for a few mins. Put a log or something in there to let them climb out if they wish, and if using the sink make sure to plug the drainage hole. Works like a charm on constipation, in fact get ready to be pooped on I'm only recommeding bathing for constipation and bad sheds, not as a usual occurance. Keep us posted!

Edit: Once it sheds or starts pooping/you find the poop, make a note of that. then come next feed/cycle you'll know when you should be on the look out for it.

Hope this helps ya a little
 
is he a hatchling on pinkies? If so, most of the pink is used by the snake, the remains = tiny poop! Mine were on paper towels, and still did incredibly small poops :crazy02:
