I must be driving everyone nuts with all my questions so appoligies in advance because there will more than likley be more to come! :lol:

1) My stimmy python - who i fed 2 pinky mice last monday night hasnt pooped yet......I have checked his cage every day ( he is in a click clack with paper towel ) & it doesnt even look like he has urinated in there........ im going to clean it out tomorrow anyway so its fresh but im due to feed him again then too so should i be feeding him again before he has pooped out the last lot?

2)He hatched on the & were i got him ( reptile trader ) have been feeding him every 1/2 weeks with 1 pinky mice , he recomended that i offer two pinkies for him & when i did last week he took them both within 5 mins & looked for more! Im wondering if im feeding him enough??? would the 2 pinkies a week be enough or too much??

3)And just 1 more question , he is about 40cm long & the click clack is about 35cm long by 15 wide & 10 high.. he has 2 hides , a water bowl & a paper towel roll that he hides in thats up off the ground....... but at nite he looks like he is getting more & more active in there & it looks too small for him......... i know they recomed that over a big cage but it still seems cruel! should i put him in the big cage ( i have a 2ftx2ft exo terra tererrium) or keep him in the click clack??
 
***bump***

anyone ??
I understand some questions probably get repetitive around here but i would really appreciate any help !
 
put him up to fuzzies.

and you could try him in the 2 x 2 x 2 if you want to , just make sure that he doesn't stress and can't get out

number 1 i cant really help on at all.
2 - my stimmy is 35cm and he also get two pinky mice a week but i am going to offer him a fuzzy mouse tomorrow, maybe yiou could try that? my stimson also looks around for more food but you have to think that in the wild sometimes they can go for months without food, so im sure he wont die! 2 pinkies a week sounds fine!
and
3- my stimson lives in a tank about 1foot and a half long and about 2foot tall and he loves it. hes halthy, loves exploring his tank, hes got hides and plants and heat etc and i never have any problem handling him or getting him to feed. its up to you though. some snakes do get nervous and scared in a large tank but you could always see how he goes?
anyway hope thats some help

iyes you can feed it again even if it hasnt deficated its last one yet,my stimmies used to pass them in 2 days bout now takes about 4-5.get it out and let it slither around,when you put it back it might deficate for you.bump it up to fuzzy mice or even try pinky rats(something bigger)and i would keep it in the click clack for a little longer
 
Hi, My childreni is about the same size 47cm, 9mths, and it had its first fuzzy and a pinky as well on Sat. She looks contented. I dont think you have overfed it?
She paces her cage of a night too(so to speak). I put some of that artificial vine in there with her. It seems to keep her occupied and gives her more exercise. My enclosure is also the same size as yours but with the vine it gives her more places to go and explore. Is your Stimmy warm enough to help it digest its food? I find mine spread out basking in front of one of them moonlight bulbs of a night getting warmer after a feed to help her digest and I am in NQ. but I am no expert either!!
