So untill i get my dums movement down as to how offten she goes i have been checking in her hide everyday. I fed her on sunday and yesterday i found urates in her tank. Today i found a piece of poop. My ball used to expell both at the same time. Is this normal for a boa to do a day apart. Also i heard to feed when they have a movement but i was going to do once a week feedings what are your oppinions? Should i feed today or wait till sunday when it will be day 7. The last mouse was about 22 grams. She is 170 grams now. I am stepping her upto adult mice/weened rats and they are atound 40g. So would the 7 day mark be good?

Snakes dont poop on schedule, but there is no reason why you cant feed on schedule ;)

i was kinda hoping you would answer to this post. I honestly think since i am steping up the meal size a little ill stick with the 7 days just to give her that little extra time. plus she is starting to blue and get foggy eyes so she wont get fed for a while

Will she definately not eat during shed? If you arent sure i would personally attempt to feed on schedule. Nearly all my snakes will eat during shed with no problem.
