I purchased a female normal ball python on 2/2/08. I brought her home, set her up in her house and fed her the following:
2/3/08-2 live med. mice
2/10/08-2 f/t med. mice
2/17/08-1 f/t med. mouse (refused the f/t rat pup offered after the mouse)
2/24/08-offered 1 f/t med. mouse-refused
I saw on 2/20/08 that she was going to shed and increased the humidity in her cage. She shed today (2/26/08). It was a complete shed-eyecaps and all.
My questions lies in the fact that she has yet to produce any urates or feces. I was expecting the "motherload" with her shed and there was none found.
Is this normal for them to go without having any urates or feces for this long? I am afraid of impaction or even worse some sort of infection.
When I purchased her I was under the impression that the person we bought her from was reputable and have since found out otherwise. I am almost afraid to find out what the person was feeding her.
She has become a very important part of our family and I really don't want anything to happen to her.
Any suggestions or Advice?
