Takes a while, they have a slow metabolism. Seems like a lot of food in a short period of time.

Don't wait up, lol. Mouse & rat fuzzies are mostly digestible, so it might take a few more meals before there's a need to eliminate anything. Snakes have evolved to
be efficient...they conserve water & nutrients by not 'going' all the time, & even their urates are mostly solid. Some snakes (of all kinds) have smellier poo than others-
you'll just have to wait & be surprised, lol.

Mine sometimes go weeks without a poop then lets it all out at once. Especially while shedding

How much does the snake weigh?
Mice fuzzies are WAY too small for a BP. Those will be digested basically entirely with no waste left to poop out.
Rat fuzzies are fine for juveniles up to around 200 grams.
So if your snake is larger you may not see any waste because there is none to dispose of.
Also, if the snake is coming up on a shed they will often hold it.

It can take 4 to 8 weeks and considering that fuzzy mice are not an appropriate size prey chances are everything was utilize for growth.
You need to know the weight of your snake and know what prey to feed it.

Thanks to everyone for the info. As far as the size of the food, please see my last post, I was having trouble feeding and knew mice fuzzy was to small. We are on the right track. He is back up to 72, grams. Thanks again for everyone’s help
