Not going to the bathroom?...help.....

lilroach56 Mar 23, 2004 07:04 PM

my BP hasn't taken a poopy/urateing/peeing for 2 weeks the last time it took one on my pants. But before he pooped on me i noticed that the area before the vent was starting to get bigger, then after he pooped it got smaller. Now it is getting bigger again. Should i worry about this or is this normal? it seems perfectly healthy (besides from being the most shy snake in the world).

Sometimes they just save it. They can go quite a while between defecating, and up to 4 weeks is pretty normal. I wouldn't worry.
