bladesparkI need a little advice.
Shocking, isn't it?
I just wanted to ask a snake question. Given that there are several nice, sane, and knowledgeable snake owners reading this, I figure here's as good a place to ask as any.
So... Anthony. Has only pooped once since I got him. He's eaten twice now, and is nearly due for the third feeding, but given that his last bit of "business" was before the first time I fed him, and he's now got the left overs of two mice in there, (I can't find any evidence, though I did search the tank.) I'm not sure it's a good idea to feed him another one. But, you know, this is one thing I don't actually see much about on various care sheets and forums, just a mention of making sure a snake poops as often as it eats, but how does one "make sure" of that if it's not happening?
I'm currently giving him a soak in warm water, with the logic that since I've been told they poop in their water bowl a lot if they spend time in there, and Anthony never spends any time in there, then perhaps he's too dry in the nethers, or something, and a soak may help. He does not seem to approve of the water, for some strange reason.
Anyhow, additional information would be appreciated.
