yes it is normal, royals tend to go about every 6-8 weeks but one of mine didn't go for about 12 weeks, but it tends to be every time they shed when they are young

They seem to like to wait and save it all up so they shock you with the size. Mine didn't go for 2 months and only went when he shed and managed to shock the OH when he went to clean it up. He even did it again 2 days later so i didn't miss out.

Haha I know, I have environmental health on standby for that pile. His last one was a giant, I took a picture I was so shocked (don't worry it never got posted, lol). The dog was shamed by this megalog.

Usually Tig will poop after he's shed, but not this time : / Last time he shed he pooped and then pooped again three days later... and it was just the same size as the first!

...I'm looking forward to this long awaited poop, whever it arives ; )

Don't worry Tobila, it's perfectly normal. They like to keep the suspence is all!

Just me and my zoo.
