Hi all!
it's been a while since i posted on here...
I promise i tried the search but couldn't find anything.
I recently got a boa again (Hypo Boa), picked him up on the 3 June, and i don't know if i should be worried or not?
He is just over 1m long but looks healthy and isn't too skinny or anything.
Basically i have fed him once a week starting apart from a 2 week gap (where he was in blue/shedding) he ate 2 medium mice (once a week) and after he shed i have fed him 2 small rats, about 13cm incl the tail.
Now this is where my concern comes in, he hasn't pooped since i have had him, he is on a Coco husk substrate as recommended by reptile garden in cape town, and i feed him in a separate container so i know he couldn't have swallowed any substrate while eating, he eats well and is active whenever i handle him etc.
His temps and humidity levels are all good and he shed in one neat piece as well. (if that means anything)
I tried doing the soak thing but he still hasn't defecated, should i be worried or should i carry on as normal and hope that he will eventually let go lol?
also, he doesn't look bloated or anything so it doesn't look like constipation to me.
Any advice i would appreciate, as i mentioned i have been reptile-less for a couple years now so i don't know if i am over reacting or not, i have had a few boas in the past but i cant remember any having this problem?
Thank you
