I have my young brb about 3 weeks now, and she has eaten twice for me in that time but hasn't pooed at all. Just wondering if this is something I should be concerned about?
She is due another feed tomorrow but because of the risk of regurgitation when their systems are blocked up,should I wait until she poos before feeding again? She is in otherwise good form.
P.s. I did think she might be using her damp hides as toilets but I cant detect that overpowering unmissable smell that my corn snakes leave

Bullsnakes and Anacondas can safely be added to the Foul Smellers List  |

as CDN has said boas are not as quick to pass as corns. Our boa does usually wait 4 weeks or so before he leaves us a nice mess to tidy up.

Don't worry about it. This one won't smell as much as a Corn Snake does, and being a boid, it's metabolism is nowhere near that of a colubrid, so once it's taken in enough food, it will empty itself. If it's eating small items, it can take a while to build up enough to pass it. |
