Python hasn't pooped in 2 feedings, thoughts?
Hi all,
Static has been acting normal and eating every 7 days as per normal too.
But I usually need to spot clean his tank every 5 days or so after he eats, but he hasn't seemed to have pooped in his last two feedings.
Is this a cause for concern? today is his sheduled feeding day, but since he was blue 2 days ago I figured I would wait a few days, and also see if he poops.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

He will unload after his shed, or possibly during.

What Jay said, a lot of times they will go while they shed. Its normal for them to go a few feedings before going too. My guys usually have a few meals before they release.

Excellent!
Thank you all for your replies, I figured it wasn't a huge deal to be worried with.
But wanted to be sure

Re: Python hasn't pooped in 2 feedings, thoughts?
my corn didn't poop for 3 meals, 2 days ago, she left me the biggest, smelliest poop I've ever seen, and just to be extra nice, she left it on top one of her hides instead of in the bedding!!

Re: Python hasn't pooped in 2 feedings, thoughts?
My Boas and Ball Python can go 3-5 feedings without leaving their deposit, but my Grey Banded King is a regular pooping machine, i swear he poops at least twice after every meal 
Elvis also makes it somewhat easier for me by leaving it in his water bowl for me to find, lol

Go ahead and feed. She will poop when she needs to.

Nope no need to worry. Did you find her?? I hope so and You need to look over the tank very carefully. They can get through the smallest places. If they can get their head through they can get out.

Re: Python hasn't pooped in 2 feedings, thoughts?
If it is a glass fish aquarium just make sure that you use a few extra latches to hold the screen lid down. Those little buggers can get out of insane small gaps and they can push pretty hard to lift the lid enough to get out if its not really secure. Glad you found her.

no its an exoterra reptile tank the screen is ok there's a teeny gap on one side but I doubt its big enough to get her nose through so I cant see her getting out that way
