What has been your experience guys and gals?
Not a stupid question at all. Actually one with no easy answer. Some snakes poop like clockwork a certain number of days after eating. Some can go weeks between poops. Mine typically goes only once or twice a month at the most. (Poo-wise...the same can not be said for passing urine or urates. )

They might poop in their hides. You can usually smell it if they do. You'll just know something "funky" is going on in there and its worth checking out. Otherwise, just peek under the hides whenever you're getting him out for regular handling anyhow.
