I have a Ball Python (sub-adult) she has bin eating fine up till the last 3 times. the last 3 times now and she never pooped? I am feeding her the same as I was before but before she would do it the day before her next feed. She is not compacted but I am wondering if she is not eating enough? I read on a site that after she eats you should be able to see a bulge where the mouse/rat is. She is eating adult mice right now.

I always been one of the people determine the proper size food by trying to match it to the thickest part of the snake & it's worked out pretty well. Even though I feed them usually on schedule my boa's sometimes wait to poop. I would give it a few more days. You could always try a nice soak which might relax her a little. My guys like to wait until I clean the enclosures out & put all fresh stuff it to make a mess so that I have to do it again.

A good soak, should help things also, try letting her roam a little around the house (supervised) to get things moving along. I also agree with the advice of matching prey item to thickest part of body. good adivce all around cheers.
