I might be.....

an overreacting snake parent, but my female still has not 'pooped'. Her tailend is plump & she seems lethargic. Her eyes went 'blue' like she was getting ready to shed, then cleared up & hasnt shed yet. Am I overreacting or should I be concerned. If she is constipated, can I put her in the tub w/ about a 1/2" - 1" of luke warm water to help her poop?

When did she go clear after being in blue? If its only been a few days don't worry. Many times snakes will defecate when they shed out so you probably will have both events happen soon.

Still might be a day or two. No harm in soaking her tho, it's good for shedding. If your humidity is good in the cage you wont have any problems tho.
