Is this weird?

anti May 30, 2009 07:27 PM

I have a 1 1/2 year old ball python (600grams by 3 feet), I have it since 2 weeks, I offered food twice and he refused it.

Now I found a poop in his cage...

Is it normal for balls to poop that much after they've fed? Does it mean that it was fed quite recently? And maybe it refused food since it was still digesting it?

Thanks

I've had some "hold it" for up to three weeks before.

Ya, if you have fed him a couple of time and he hasn't gone then sometimes if they held it a bit it might look like a small dog got into the cage and left some do do....lol.
