Hi guys just wondering if I should be worried Loki (tai beauty) has eaten several times in his new viv but I'm not finding any poo on majority of occasions. From what i can tell he hasn't got a lump suggesting it's there. He is on large rat pups/ small fuzzies now. When in small rub could always find poo but was small. Is it likely I am just missing a small poo in a large enclosure?

What substrate do you use? I know some stick to the poop so it can be hard to see it (shredded aspen, for instance). I assume he *is* pooping, just not as often as you think he should. I wouldn't be overly worried, all snakes are different. Aleron and Diego don't poop particularly often but Luna does it like clockwork every 2 weeks.

If he'll let you, a bath won't harm him and will also reveal if he is a little constipated
