How often should my ball take a dump?

bonio100 Aug 17, 2003 04:52 PM

Ive had my ball; for a couple of weeks now. My milk snake generally takes a dump 4 days after the last meal, but my ball seems to have only gone once.

Do they have a slower digestive system?

Thanks

This is totally normal. Milks digest food much faster. Mine probably defacate maybe every 10 days to 2 weeks, but when they do, LOOK OUT! I have a brooksi king that it doesn't matter how many times I change her paper, she immediately messes it up after cage cleaning. I think she's just territorial. All the boids I own go much less than my colubrids. Take care, Scott.
