Hey, all, I've got a corn thats about 7 months old and, well, basically, she hasn't poo-ed for the last week. She's fed fluffs weekly on the same day more or less the same time, and today is actually her feeding day. I've even taken out everything in the viv and put it back in again, no poo at all..
I'm getting kinda worried since she normally poos about 2 or 3 times a week...
Any tips? :( |

Hm...I tried bathing her in a bowl of lukewarm water there, and all she did was give me "what the hell are you doing to me!?" look and then made a run for it over the edge. I tried once more where she swam around a bit before making a run for it. I just put her back in her viv and have started defrosting a fluff for her...it just seemed to stress her.
Also, on that note, how often do you bathe your snake? |

i occasionally bath the corns, sometimes if they're due a shed (after the blue-eyed phase clears) and sometimes for a bit of variety (and sometimes to entertain small toddler!  ) and yes they usually dump in the bath!
if a snake is using all the nutrients in it's meal for growth there'll be very little to come out the other end. so she might just be having a growth spurt. how many fuzzies are you feeding weekly? |

she's probably absorbing everything she can from each meal, is she interested in a 2nd fuzzy when she's finished the first one?
i wouldn't be overly concerned about the lack of poo yet but bathing usually makes it happen! |

Update, I just noticed she has pooed, so its okay. She did it some point yesterday night though, after I fed her.
She's doing what she usually does, just curled up in her hide. I don't actually know if she'd be interested in another fuzzy...I doubt it since well, fuzzies *sometimes* scrape the 1.5x the width of the head limit and she seems all slow and stuffed afterwards..
Though I've never tried, I always defrost them one at a time. |

| It's not 1.5x width of the head, it's 1.5x the girth of the body, ignore the head, its designed to stretch |

Oops...
I dunno why I always thought it was the width of the head >.>
I feel dim now, lol. I'll note this during her next feed =) |
