Greetings... I'm very worried about my five-year-old male ball python. It seemed like a long time since he "went", as I cleaned out his aquarium and still found nothing. I checked the records which I keep on him, and found these as the last entries:
Urates: 9/5/03, 9/30/03, 10/20/03, 10/28/03, 11/12/03, 12/6/03, 1/3/04, and 2/14/04.
Feces: 10/4/03 & 11/12/03.
Which means that he hasn't urated in 26 days, but hasn't made feces in 120 days!
I'm worried that the chicken broth in which I dip his mice (a trick to make him eat, and I kept it up) may be hurting his kidneys. Regarding the feces, could they be impacted?
I've had trouble regulating his heat for the past year, but, lately, I keep him at 85 degrees at the hot middle, and 80 degrees at the cool end. I can't heat what's supposed to be the basking end up any higher, as it's at opposite sides from the heater, and I can't move the heater, due to the bird cage and the wall.
Kaa didn't eat this morning. His eyes have been blue for five days now. He should've started his shed.
My vet moved recently, and I need to find a new one. Help!
Thank you.
