At 6 months of age, these guys are turning everything they eat into more snake so they really don't deficate very frequently. Sometimes they'll end up looking like little bratwurst and it looks uncomfortable but when it's time...they'll go. They are more elastic than you might think and can pass something very large. I had a 4' burm pass a pair of hemostats one time, but thats another story... If you are super concerned, soak your burm in some warm water - not too warm (what's warm to us is probably hot to them). Usually they'll go ahead and move their bowels during a good soaking. Also, make sure that your burm has a large enough cage to get plently of exercise, the lateral undulation of their movements always gets them going and they will work out the uric acid on their own. Smaller meals, less frequently would probably help too. When I see some of mine that look like little sausages, it's usually in the ones that I have been feeding more frequently. But really, everything is probably fine and I wouldn't sweat it too much if I were you. Good Luck and post some follw ups.
