I purchased a female normal ball python on 2/2/08. I brought her home, set her up in her house and fed her the following:



2/3/08-2 live med. mice

2/10/08-2 f/t med. mice

2/17/08-1 f/t med. mouse (refused the f/t rat pup offered after the mouse)

2/24/08-offered 1 f/t med. mouse-refused



I saw on 2/20/08 that she was going to shed and increased the humidity in her cage. She shed today (2/26/08). It was a complete shed-eyecaps and all.



My questions lies in the fact that she has yet to produce any urates or feces. I was expecting the "motherload" with her shed and there was none found.



Is this normal for them to go without having any urates or feces for this long? I am afraid of impaction or even worse some sort of infection.



When I purchased her I was under the impression that the person we bought her from was reputable and have since found out otherwise. I am almost afraid to find out what the person was feeding her.



She has become a very important part of our family and I really don't want anything to happen to her.



Any suggestions or Advice?
