Okey dokey smokey! :blush::+1:

Still no poop but sausage but has gone away not fully gone but substantially smaller in size. She is eating still moving around is alert and active so I’m guessing she will poop with her next shed if not I still have a vet appointment set up for the 6th. As this is my first snake and from everything I e read I’m guessing I would know if she pooped because it would smell pretty bad correct?

Usually, depends on how good the ventilation on the enclosure is and how strong your sense of smell is :joy: Edit: -and the size of the BP too…

Though sometimes they can hide their poops, check near/under water dishes or hides. If you have loose substrate like reptichip it can get buried…

Other than that when she sheds it will most likely end up with the shed or close to it.

I’ve looked all over and haven’t found any I take her water dish out every other day and clean it. Only time I’ve seen her under it was after she shed the first time so I think I’m good there. I’m just used to mammals so the reptile thing is all new to me.

We’ll update after the vet appointment I found out she is not constipated she is just as the vet put it girthy and growing very well and is in tip top condition health wise. He is guessing she will poop when she sheds and that everything we are doing is spot on. Thank you for the help and advice everyone!
