How 'little' is he? Small snakes make small poops that dry to aspen coloured dust very fast.
Or he could be like Kitty in that he poops under his substrate rather then on it. |

Well that sort of put my mind at rest knowing that it probably would cause regurge but he hasnt so all good! Well maybe it isnt the best of places i for sure arent going back.. a new leaf is patrick is in a safe place and being cared for by the knowledge of mind and this forum!
Thanks again |

Sorry didn't mean to panic you, as mentioned it is just a possibility of a regurge |

it could have caused a regurge, but as that hasnt happen I wouldn't worry too much. As for poo it can be a few days, 8 will usually go 6 or 7 dyas after being fed and if he's due a shed he'll wait untill he's shed. |

The issue would be a regurge. It's best to leave a snake to digest it's meal for 48 hours after feeding.
As we've now gone over the 48 hours I would hope your snake won't regurgitate any undigested mouse.
Please don't worry. I'm sure it will be ok but just make a note for the future that maybe this place is not 100% up on it's snake welfare?
Anything else we can help with..just ask.  |

Is this Saturday 5th? If so, it's definitely not time to worry yet. Apollo has gone for several weeks and two feeds before pooping. By then it's quite nasty and kinda big.
Even my hatchlings normally take 2-3 days to digest their meals and pinkies are quicker to digest than larger mice |

It can take a good few days to come out so I wouldn't start worrying yet. Not great that the shop fed him knowing you were about to take him home  |
