I have had my young Albino Burm for about 8 weeks now, he is feeding fine on a jumbo mouse once a week and seems quite settled,

I handle him every day and all his hissing and striking has gradually faded away and he now seems quite content.

BUT

He has never once "taken a dump" since I bought him. I have never known this with a snake before, certainly not for this length of time.

Does anyone have experience of this? Is it something to worry about? Is it time for a vet visit?

Thanks

Nige

i live in the special room with all my special friends

I'm not going to stop buying reptiles, i'm just waiting for the right one to come along. ( and for the Mrs's to say it's ok to have one ) and for the Dark Side to lure me into it's evil grip of Reticledom.

Mine went for about that length of time, warm bath did the trick for me !!

How long do you leave after feeding before you handle again?

But I agree, warm baths usually do the trick

just clean the viv out........mine always seem to go as soon as i do that lol. being serious tho the bath is the way to go

why are people still breeding dogs ? dont you think enough are put to sleep everyday as they are unwanted already ?http://www.endangereddogs.com/ABPoster1.pdf

dogs : dont breed or buy, while rescue dogs die

Warm bath it is for him then tomorrow. Nightbringer I leave him at least 48 hours, anything sooner than that and he is hunting as soon as I walk in the room and will strike at the tank if I get too close, the following day he is fine again
