does anyone know about how long it takes for a yearling gtp to go from eating to pooping? if the temp is correct.

Too many variables involved to give a straight answer, and temps wouldn't be at the top of my list. Humidity and hydration would play a bigger part than temps. Other variables more significant than temps would include prey size and frequency of feeding.

Are you concerned about one of your animals or just curious? If concerned, it would probably be easier if you just explained the reasons for the concern. In a perfect world, they will defecate between each feeding, but I find this just doesn't occur in reality.

thanks for your reply, i was curious, the temp is a little low. don't seem to be able to get it over 80. but he seems to be fine. he is eating well. i generally feed him once a week or after he defecates. Tom

You want to get the temps up, even if it means starting from scratch on the enclosure. Though it may seem to be doing well for you, these things are notorious for keeping "secrets" when it comes to health issues, until it becomes on the brink of death, or beyond it.

thanks ,, that is conformation on what ihave been thinking. Tom
