Hi there,

I'm starting to get really worried, I've had my corn for about 8 months now, and she's been really good with feeding and pooping.I fed her 2 weeks ago, and again last week, but she still hasn't pooped. She is very active still, but she seems to be starting to get a bit agitated. It's coming up to 3 weeks now, and it's worrying me.

Any suggestions?

look at her underside towards her vent an see if she looks swollen at all, mine sometimes poo's under the substrate so i cant see it but can smell it so i know shes been, as a few have said handling an bathing should do the trick. aslo a feature in march practical reptile about constipation i think

warm baths work very very well :) medusa didnt poop one week so a gentle warm bath helped and she has pooped every week since :D

Or hold the snake for a while. They seem to like to poop on people so maybe that will work :)

How old is the snake?

Weight?

Size of food?

Frequency of feed?

Does she look full?

These would be handy to get a better idea of the problem but a warm bath usually does the job and clears out snakey pipes.
