no poop?!?!

[whoute]

Ok so ive had my corn about a month now.bin fed 3 times, each time ate it perfectly fine. I read that snakes usually poop 2-3 days after a feed, but ive never noticed any. Is that weird?

What substrate are you using? Maybe he is burrowing under it and doing his "business" there.

Also what are your temps? He may not be able to digest properly if the temps are too low.

What size of mice/rats are you feeding him, how often and how many?

food possibly can be too small, I've heard of snkaes that won't poop for a while, if it continues for another week I'd be worried

I have already found a sure fire cure for curing my corn's constipation: just let me pick him up. Let me know if you want me to come over and pick yours up. I'll only charge you for dry cleaning bill.

i use sort of a wood chip substrate, i suppose he could bury it under there.
Temps are 27c on the warm and 20-22 on the cool. sorry dont know farenheight!

Hes fed one small mouse pinky a week, but this week we're moving up to two

Temps should be about 22c on cool and 28c on warm.... Good.
But you should find out about the substrate, cause if it pine, it will cause respiratory infection problems. Aspen bedding is prefer but I hard for you to find.

Im sorry to say this, but your snake looks rather skinny in the picture. Can i ask how old the snake is?

Too small a meal can be whats causing it not to poo... The "rule" for feeding is that prey items should be no more than 1.5x the girth of the fattest part of the snake.

Could you post a full length picture of your snake?

When my Scarlett was eating just a pinky head, she still pooed. And that snake doesn't look too skinny to me either. He's just fine.

Poo can be hard to see in some substrates. I'll bet it's in there somewhere.

that picture is of our first snake that escaped.

The new snake is approx 2ft long and fairly thick. Ive just fed him 2 small pinkies and he ate both fine. Im guessing he has pooed but its just hard to see in the substrate.
