    Carpet Feces

    Ok I want to say on sunday/monday I gave my my carpet python a medium rat he ate it with no problem but its been a week and the bump in his stomach has decrease but he didnt release any feces yet. Is it ok to feed him again? He's romanin around the the tank flicking his tongue and every time he smells a mouse (I have three other snakes and they are all in the same room) he gets in the S position every time i walk by the tank until the smell goes away.

    Can i feed him again today or wait until sunday?

    Do Carpet pythons "store" (for the lack of a better word) their feces until after two meals or when they feel like releasing it?

    I'm just a tad bit confused and i dont want to power feed him but i always feed my snakes once a week. (my definition of once a week is from the last time i fed them IE monday to monday or once they release their feces i feed again)

    I never wait for them to poop. If they are due to eat I feed them and they poop when they poop.
