Hi,

In order to my temple pit viper has a [bleep], I have to stimulate its cloaca with a very little stick. In order to my juvenile gaboons have a [bleep], I have to put them into a bath. If I don´t do it, they don´t have a [bleep].

I think it´s very difficult to handle an adult gaboon viper and to put it into the bath in order to have a [bleep], because my juvenile male is a devil, (he runs like a lightning bolt), so I am thinking that I won´t be able to handle them when they grow.

My question is: do you need to put into a bath them in order to have a [bleep]? How do you do?

My pair of gaboons are hidrated and drink water almost as often as I spray them. If I don´t do, they don´t drink.

Thanks. Regards.

sorry, I mean "defecate", but I don´t know how can I say "defecar" in English.

The male. It is not tame.

I like his black tears

Hi:

Cute little Gabby

You can use poo like Steve Irwin (RIP) used to do. The other options are "bowel movement" or Defecate.

Gabbys and Rhinos very seldom defecate shortly after eating. My Gabby has a bowel movement about every 11 weeks. My Rhino Viper (B.nasicornis) goes every 4 or 5 months. As long as they are well hydrated I would not worry. I can't help you with your Wags...

Good luck,

Al
