So I have had Lola for two weeks tomorrow...she ate the day we brought her home (17th), and I fed her again on the 27th...but she has not pooped at all since she's been here. Is not pooping for 2 weeks normal?

She isn't active at all unless I hold her, she will just hide in her enclosure...unless she comes out when I'm sleeping and I just don't know...are they normally this reclusive?

It may be normal for your snake. Most of my snakes go every week, but one of my BCI's is about once a month. So if she has always been like this I would not worry too much.

And they like their hides! She likely comes out at night, too. When I go look at my neonates during the day they're all balled up under their paper towels- at night they're all over the place.

Also, every escape i've ever had was at night. Just the other day one of my adult BRBs found her way into another (unoccupied) cage.

Two weeks is not uncommon for a brb that was empty on arrival. I'm not sure pooping every week is actually pooping out what was just eaten a week ago and not the meal from two weeks prior.

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
26.49 BRB
20.21 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

Yep, they're pretty reclusive during the day. If I go into my office/snake room a few hours after lights out, I see many faces staring back at me in mid-cruise position. Chances are she's charging around her enclosure for several hours a night.
