my 2 year old corn snake never poops in her viv, only when i put her for a bath. its been a few weeks now from her last one, i didnt give her a bath this time to see if she would poop in her viv but still no luck. The temps are all ok just up a couple of degrees because of the weather and she lies on the warm side a lot. any ideas thanks.

What are you feeding it and how often??

I would think you would see it.
 
i feed her 1 adult mouse every 7 days, her poops a very large so i would have noticed it in the viv and it really smells, usually give her a bath 6 days after a feed.

The snake should poop before 6 days...odd.
What's your substrate?

Giving baths (to me) is just quick fix sheds and poop problems.
Not a long term thing.

I would clean out the viv, put in paper towels, feed the snake and see what happen in the next week.
 
I bathe my corns 2 days after feeding. I use it for excersice mostly, but when they poo it means less for me to clean out of there tanks. I like the paper towel idea.... How big is the water dish? I make sure the snake can curl up in the dish if they need to. (I would hate to have to hold a poo for 6 days) I have one that poops in the dish a lot. I still will find a present in the tank every once in a while.
