Re: Defecation
Speaking of poo, my snake has also not pooped for about 3 feedings and she's due to eat in 2 days...mom doesn't want me to feed until she goes. She also takes less and less food with each meal. First was 3, second was 2, and she almost refused the second mouse the third time

I just looked back through my records (yes, I record everything) and I've had some go upwards of 4 months without defecating (mostly when they're off feed). Usually they're at around once/month though. This is with me offering weekly appropriately-sized meals. There's absolutely no reason to wait until she poops to feed her again. You could seriously be waiting for a long time if you did that.

Wow!
At least that's an easy one to clean.
Mine snake is toilet trained- right into the water bowl every time! 
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
