Ive had this little girl for just over a month now.. Shes my only morph and im so protective of her because of that... BUT shes hasn't pooed since she's been in my care and she's ate maybe 8-10 meals... She looks like shes going to explode!!!!!! I have tried soaking in warm water every night for the last week with no such pooping luck.... Her little vent end looks like its going to explode.. what else can i do to help her??? Any suggestions at all or just wait her out... shes about 175grams and about 2 months old if that helps... just let me know...! thank you in advance for all the wonderful comments!

Sincerely,
Rose & Steve (and little Hott Dogg)

Try cool to the touch water...

If she's as bad as you make her sound, I'd say it would warrent a call to the vet. I had a clutch of young snakes one time who got like that. They were constipated, and looked like they were just miseable. I lost 3 of them to bacterial infection that just filled their intestines. If theres any chance that this could be a sign of something more serious, I'd really look into it.
It's not unusual for a snake to go a long time without pooping, but when they get to the point where they are bloating and swolloen, I'd worry.
Best of luck. I hope everything comes out alright. (pun intended)

ps, I'd also be careful putting her in cold water. You don't want to drop her body temp.
