When she NEEDS to go. Young snakes are eating younger rodents (that have smaller bones & less hair, ie. are more digestible), so there is less waste & it just takes a
while sometimes before they need to 'go'. Keep in mind that defecation also requires using some water from the body to flush out leftover stuff, & snakes evolved by
conserving both food AND water. Healthy snakes do not usually defecate once for each meal consumed, but there is no set formula. Some snakes go more often than
others...blood pythons, for example, are notorious for holding it in for months at a time.
