Mind is changing on snakes I want now lol so am researching these to find out what would be best - Milk Snakes and Dwarf Boa possibly - Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara or Vera Cruz and poss a Hoggie, African House and Rat snake. Also Trinket Snakes.

sometimes I find poo after their feed usually about 2-3 days with smaller items (or not at all), sometimes 5-6 days after with big items.

It depends on their food but it can leave no waste so no poo. I've got one snake who quite often won't poo after every meal. As long s the snake is healthy I really wouldn't worry.

Thats why I tend to use kitchen roll, espcially with the smaller snakes as it's easy to see when they have poo'd and how much.

With the bigger, older snakes, you can't miss it. Not only does it stink but there is normally a lump of mouse fur in it too :p
