Need some advice!

i recently got a 5mo old albino green burmese. She came to live with me in June & everything has been great. usually she poops about 5 days after she eats....but now, it’s been 3weeks & she hasn’t pooped!!!! Humidity is at 53%, temps are about 84 and 91 in the hot spot. She’s been getting a nice long soak 3 or 4 times a week.. but the last week i’ve been doing it every other day to see if it might help-- nothing. I fed her again last wednesday & am not sure if i should feed her again.... what’s going on? should i be worried?????

They can go several months without pooping.. Does she seem swollen near the vent? If you’re really worried about it continue to soak her..

Could mean she’s constipated.. I wouldn’t worry about it too much.. if you’re really concerned you can keep soaking her but I would continue to feed her.
