burm deficating

my burm usually goes about once a month, this time around it took her about three months, and when she went she left 2 huge piles instead of one is this normal for burmese pythons?

How hot do you have your cage and humidity. Mine poops once a week at least and pees like three times a week. It also depends on how much you feed it, if you dont feed it alot it wont poop and mine does not shed about a week before shedding, Its nice to have that break.

Well, one large rat a week at 7ft. Does it leave a lump in her. I know at about that size I went to rabbits. And I fed mine a rabbit a week.
