Constipated snake

Skip this post if the title is too disgusting.We didn't know that she was constipated. She normally eats 1 or 2 mice each week & she hadn't eaten for 2 weeks. Her skin looked as if it was trying to shed & we knew that shedding sometimes kills the appetite. We decided to give her a soak in a tub of warm water to help the shed. Peeping Tom, aka. Petey, decided to watch. After about 15 minutes, Tyke started to wiggle around & then expelled several white stones (kidney? urine) several turds, gas & more. My bet is that she will eat her mousie by Sunday. I'm just glad that she was in the bathtub & not the hot tub!!!!!
