bathe him, sometimes they look to poo in water.

i've seen my Boa bloated one time, i was worried too cuz i didn't see poo in 1 month... then when i smelt somthing funny i looked in the tank and there was a HUUUGE pile of crap...

he'll crap in due time, no swet.

yeah that is right when ball's don't sh*t i just put them in a bucket of wram water and just leave them their few 15 mins do that everyday if u have the time or just do it every other day for 15 mins and then they might go ~!

What i found works best, disgusting though it may be, is to put about 6" of warm water in the tub, and let him soak/swim for as long as you can.. do this everyday till he goes!! It has always worked for me and all the herpers I know! it just is kinda messy, and then You really need to clean the tub well afterwards!!
good luck!

I did that with my hogg and she went. SHe was definately pissy after that (just for the rest of the night), not sure why, maybe she was embarassed? Give it a try.

I've had a few bps that wouldn't crap, but never had the problem with any of my burms. My burms have almost always gone like clockwork. I would go with soaking him in water a little bit warmer than normal.

My burm only goes #2 every three weeks, with a few urates inbetween. I would not worry I had a boa that didnt go for 1 and a half months.
