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  |

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  |

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. |

| 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. |
