stupid question about poop

[nick654377]

so i am curious about my dums. she is always under the substrate. i may have made it too deep. its about 2 inches thick maybe thicker.

when she goes poop will she go underground or on top? curious to see if i need to dig in there or not.

when i kept a kingsnake that loved to burrow in the aspen substrate,it used to leave me wee poop presents under/in the substrate

my female dum burrows when she's hungry and is in ambush mode but she has never pooped under the surface. when she's not hunting she's almost always on top of the substrate.

Ive had rocky since nov 8th and shes always under the substrate. Her head is out 50% of the time tho.

she's probably hungry ;)
take a picture next time she's eating so i can see how big the prey items are. mine was maybe a TINY bit bigger than yours when i got her and i IMMEDIATELY switched her over to small rats. now she's eating 2 medium eats per feed and being a hungry pig still.

Ive been trying to feed her. She wont take it. I have med mice for her. Shes 130 grams. Weighed her the other day. She was on frozen but the dumb lady gave her a live before i picked her up. Now i have to try and get her to eat frozen again. I tried last night and didnt take it. Im going to try again next friday and see what happens.

worst comes to worst you just wait til she gets hungry enough to eat whatever you put in front of her. they won't starve to death if they have another option ;)

Mine always poops under the reptile bark. Once a week i sift through it to see if he pooped.
