Lack of poop, a problem?

I have a coral snow corn, Gracie... She last ate Sunday and now, saturday has yet to deficate - I am starting to worry. I think in the morning I'll give her 5 minute bath (as that ALWAYS seems to make my snakes wanna poop)!

But let me know if this is normal, or if there's something I should be worried about.

As always, thank you for your endless support.
 
Is she getting ready to shed? If so that could be why she hasn't gone. They seem to hold it until right after they are finished shedding.
 
It normally depends on how big the food item is, but don't worry. When she's ready to go, she'll go. Snakes don't run on a tight time schedule for defication.
 
Well she pooped, it wasn't large (as she normally does!)... but at least she got it out of her. Also it was hard and pasty, not wet and slimey.

She's got plenty of water but I havn't witnessed her drinking it personally. It's feeding day today (sunday) and perhaps the food will help to move things along.

I did, however, give her a bath in the tub to see if she'd deficate for me (this was after the small pasty, hard defication). She didn't, but I'm sure you're all right, she'll be fine.

Thanks for your support!
