Hi sorry if this question has been asked a million times but ive searched and couldn't find an answer so here i am!
Anyway Trevor fed on saturday evening and he still hasnt had a poop! Is this normal?
last week the first time i handled him after a feed he pood almost straight away all over the bed! lol. But this time he hasn't i was even prepared and let him slither around on some kitchen roll. Then today i gave him a little bath to try and shift it along but still nothing, and theres def none in the viv as i've checked multiple times. Should I do something else or just wait and see,
any advice guys?
Thanks in advance

It depends, normally they go weekly but they can hold it if they want. My corn will hold it when he is due a shed or occasionally for no apparent reason. As long as they dont look bloated or obviously impacted then its nothing to worry about. Dont worry about bathing him to make him go either, he will go when he is ready. Oh and check under the substrate, my corn goes under the substrate all the time but these days he is big enough to poop out something large enough to be able to smell it in there its just a question of finding it.
