longest time between poops for bts??

joeyjoh Mar 10, 2006 06:49 PM

I have a female that may be pregnant.
she is gaining weight and very hungry all the time. the only problem is she is eating but not pooping. I can offer her anything and she will eat it but I now am wooried becuase she is not pooping. she has releived herself once in over a week and a half.

I have soaked her several times to try and get her to poop but nothing. She has never had this problem before . she is also going to shed in the next couple of days and in the past she wouldn't poop before she shed.

Also it looks like she is preg because her absomen near her tail base looks larger . But could it be the impacted food??

has anyone had experince with a female doing this after mating. she shows all signs of being preg but no poop im concerned.

her temp amd everything are right . based on they have been this way for five years and she been in great shape.

thanks
joey

Joey,
Offer her some grapes... we usually cut them in half to avoid the skinks squirting the juice all over.

Grapes usually act as a natural laxative.
