This may be in the wrong place sorry im new. How many mice should a 3 month old boa eat before it goes to the bathroom. Hes has 6 in him and not yet gone. Ive soaked him even. Am I tripping or do I need to do something.

I'm no expert so you may want to ask around on the boa forum, but from my experience our boa goes about 1 time a month with urates inbetween. We generally feed her about once a week. Boas don't go as often as some other snakes. I have heard this is due to the fact the store more nutrients because they grow so fast in comparison to smaller snakes.

You really should wait to feed your snake until after they've eliminated their last meal.. however, with a young snake.. a neonate.. they should be fed every 10 days... And one to 2 appropriately sized food items at a time.... Usually if they don't go to the bathroom after 3 weeks... you should start soaking them in lukewarm water for 20-30 minutes at a time...
