    Another newb question! :)
    Our little Darwin ate like a champ on Monday. How many days usually between the time they eat and the time they poop?

    We plan on feeding once a week on Mondays and I was hoping for pooping in between feedings without overlap.

    Thanks!

    It varies a lot. Sometimes mine will go once a week or even more, other times it will be 10+ days.

    It's a matabolism thing. I agree with Tim

    I have some that like to wait until they shed, which so far has been about every 6-8 weeks. I also have some that wait until 30 minutes after I clean their cages to go. :P

    Little ones tend to go even less, so if you have a hatchling or smaller BP chances are they probably won't go once a week.

    Cody usually goes about three days after eating.

    I've only feed my snake once ever sins I have it in my house hold..

    I have asked the same question you do and most people tell me to feed the snake Once(1) a week or Twice(2) depending if I want to or not..

    Sorry to take over the thread, Witch I'm not trying to do but could I feed my snake 2 mouses at once? Would it eat both ? One after another?

    from everything that i have read, it is recommended to feed one appropriately sized rodent at feeding time. but when they have outgrown the supplies that i have, i feed two or more during one feeding. hope that helps :)


    my Luna usually poops the day before i feed her, but she has gone a month without pooping before.

    I've had Drogo for 2 weeks now, he's eaten twice and still hasn't defecated.
