I have read articles that say that ball pythons take a dump once a week after each feeding. Mine has never had such a regular cicle, but lately he's been "going" only about once every 4 to 5 weeks, usually the day after he sheds if he's in a shed cycle at that time. Is this normal, or should I be concerned with blockage?? I keep him on aspen shavings, but I don't feed him in the cage...he has a big water bowl to soak in...I have provided a humidity box but he never uses it at all, I can put fresh moss in there and tell weeks later that he has never used it. He is about 2 years old and about 3 feet long, very gentle and calm, never acts as if something is wrong. I'm probably just over stressing myself about it (they say it is easy to stress out a snake, but I always seem to be the one stressed out from them!)but I would like someones opinion. Thanks.
