Hi Naboo hasn't pooed in the last 2 & 1/2 weeks and I'm starting to worry a little. He's 6-7 months old a1 & 1/2 feet long & round the 50g mark and feeds on on fluff every Wednesday. Strike feeds everytime without fail, drinks regularly and temps are ok. Nothings changed in his Viv and he hets handled regularly I'm just wondering how to encourage him to poo! He seems to relax more in his cool hide so I was thinking that might be slowing the digestion? Should I take it out? Any ideas?

Cheers

I wouldn't worry too much if he's still eating and drinking etc! If you want to try a warm bath that should encourage him too go. Should not be deep enough to cover the snake, only about half way up his body and no hotter than 30 degrees give or take.

Edit: Or just handle him wearing a nice outfit just before you're due to go out....!
