Is my red tailed boa healthy?

Question

my baby red tailed boa hasnt pooped 4 round 1 month now after 2 meals but she seems normal shes active, friendly, still growing, and is bout to shed. her abdomen isnt swollen at alll is there anything wrong with her or does it just mean shes super hungry

Answer 1

this is unusual to me because my snake defecates once every week...after snakes shed they usually "release" themselves of waste. but it can also mean that your snake has a telescopic bowel and possibly parasites. After she sheds, check to see if she has defecated. if not, then take her to a local herp vet and explain to the vet that she hasn't pooped in a month. the vet will probably worm her and perform an e***a. in the mean time, soak her in luke warm water (if the water is too hot, she will violently squirm about so please test it with your hand before you put her in) hopefully she will outgrow the problem, but until she does, you personally will have to perform enemas on your boa.

Answer 2

I have a red tail boa and she has gone 3 to 4 weeks without pooping.

form what you have said everything sounds normal.

But you may want to try soaking her that usually will cause the bowels to move.

Answer 3

not pooping can be bad for her. maybe she's waiting to shed.

what i usually do with my corns, i put them in a bath of warm (not very warm) water and it usually helps them to p**p
