| one thing you could try is a bath, if you fill your bath or another container big enough to swim about a little maybe a washing up bowl with a low level of luke warm water, around her width/height depth. if you plonk her in there for a few minutes she should poop straight off like magic, never fails with tallulah :) hope that helps |

| oh if she does go in the bath make sure you cover the over flow if shes small, and keep an eye on her with the plug chain. :) |

| forgot to add tho, not to worry too much as they sometimes keep hold of it longer for more nutrition, or it is possible that she has pooped and youve just not seen it, depending on the substrate :) but like a say bath = guarenteed poopage. and its good exercise |

| yes a warm bath is always the best way to get a corn snake to clear its waste out, once your corn snake reaches 3 feet plus it can easily slither out of the bath tub like mine always does now and i have to keep putting him back in much to his annoyance, its getting more and more difficult as time goes on as hes getting bigger, now and then i just let him poo in his viv, i know its very messy and smelly when fresh, but once dried it goes very hard and the yellowy powdery stuff turns more or less into chalk |

There is nothing to worry about in a week, it all depends on how big the snake is, how much you're feeding it and how active it is. If there is a problem you will see an obvious build-up behind the vent.
If you do decide you want to give it a bath make sure its about as warm as the hot end of the viv otherwise you will overheat your snake. |

One of my snakes used to do that. Purposely hold it in until on a nice clean pair of trews. |
