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?

Even if a snake is not poisonous, it should pretend to be venomous.

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.

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

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
