i work at the baton rouge zoo and have recently aquired a rescued ball python. she was origionally a hurricane katrina victim, but has since bounced from several keepers in an attempt to find a good home. therefore naturally i know little about her habbits.
i fed her more than a week ago and she still hasnt deficated. im inclined to think this is a problem, the snakes i work with deficate within 2-3 days of consumption, but i dont have alot of experience with pythons. i have her temp and humidity in check, as well as hot and cooler places within her enclosure. i havnt fed her agian yet, and i have tried soaking her in warm water.
is it normal for ball pythons to not poop for more than a week after eating?
thank you 
Paige
