| I feed every Sunday but thats just because Spot is little I'll be going to once every 10 days when he gets bigger. Don't use poo as a cue to feed, it only takes a few days for digestion and you'll quickly end up with a fat snake. If you mean if the snake hasn't poo'd can i still feed him? Then yes you can. (Unless its been weeks without a poo, you might have a constripated snake, there is advice for this on here too). |

I feed Medusa every sunday at around 7pm to keep her in a routine kinda thing :)
She seems to know when it's feeding time, she's only four months old and she's learnt already! Bless her :) |

| They go when they feel like it, some can hold for a week or so before letting loose the inner demon! |

I also feed mine on a Sunday evening and then leave them all in peace until Tuesday evening or sometimes Wednesday .
Although , I have seen quite a few posts suggesting feeding hatchlings every 5 days ... maybe that is if you want to "grow them on for a quick / quicker re-sale" ?? ! |

How old the snake is depends on feeding time. I feed 2 of mine weekly and they are less than a year old, they used to be fed every 5 days. One adult every 2 weeks and another every 4 weeks.
They are fine :) I've seen my girl looking as if she is bursting for the loo when I feed her, just mean she leaves 2 stinkers for me in a short space of time  |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |
