Hi there,



I posted a similar question some time ago. Below is the response that I got from a regular contributor to this forum (Angel I hope you don't mind me quoting you here). As a note, my female just defecated last week for the 2nd time in 10 months. Believe me when I tell you it was a dramatic event! My wife wanted me to photograph it because it was so impressive but I thought that was crossing the line into being "weird snake guy" lol. While 5 months may not be typical, three weeks appears to be nothing to worry about. Bathing in warm (not hot) water may help move things along. Here's Angel's [googo151] response, hope this helps:

Hey,

Here are some of the defecation data and dates for my male and female alike Red bloods. From the records you can see that there is not much BM, activity, but the animals do pass urine, not urates, quite often after prolonged drinking.

Sample card Evacuation dates:

Male:

9/18/2002

12/13/2002

Urates:3/5/03

4/16/2003

6/4/2003

9/11/2003

Female:

12/14/2002

Urates-12/30/2002

9/18/2002

5/10/2003

7/12/2003

8/26/2003



As you can see the female did not have a bm=bowel movement, once, for quite some time, but did eventually. If it does not go for longer than that (5months), I would definately want to have it checked out by a qualified reptile vet, if you can find one in your area. All the best! - Angel
