Unless you're staying up all night (& I HOPE not!?), you can't be sure your snake is staying in his hide 24/7....but sometimes they do & usually that's when they're in
a shedding cycle. It can take a while. And snakes don't defecate all that often either -which is nice for those of us cleaning up after them. Seriously, younger snakes
are usually eating younger rodents (w/ less fur & smaller bones) that are more digestible with less waste to get rid of later. Don't worry... Snakes don't lead the most
"exciting lives" you know...;)

I don't sleep well at night and Ive seen a bit of his back spilling out from under a hide from a little tunnel in the morning and the same bit in the same location was still hanging out next morning more than once. My snake finally did poop though. he was a bit more active after heheh, mustve been a good poop for him. He hasn't shed yet but i did see him rubbing against his rock so I might see it soon. I worried a bit too much on this it very much seems. Last night I also saw him out and about. I didn't stay up to stare at him. Sleep and I aren't very good friends
