Why is my pet snake not pooping after eating mice for two weeks?

Question

I have already fed him 3 mice and have yet to see him poop. Usually when fed after a few days he passes it. But I haven't seen him pass any of his feedings in about 2 weeks. Usually 2 or 3 days after I can pull him out and he's fine, but 2 days before feeding he starts acting feisty. What should I do?

Check the temperature in the enclosure. Low temps can affect digestion, slowing it down. As long as he is behaving normally otherwise, wait it out. if he becomes lethargic or stops eating, have him examined by your herp veterinarian.
