Do you snakes only go to the toilet once after being fed? Or could they go 2 or 3 times between feeds?

Mine goes very regularly two days after he has been fed, and if it was a large meal, again a further two days later, but I think every snake is different in this regard. Maybe it varies by age? I imagine younger ones might go more frequently though I couldn't say for sure.

When she was younger, Andromeda used to go two or even three times after a feed. Now she's goes once per feed like all the others unless it was a particularly big meal. How old is your snake?

Snakes are no different to us humans, some go more often than others!
Good luck with the first feed.

Hi Marcus, mine does a variety of things with regards to the toilet. Fortunately she will only wee in one spot of the viv and poo in another. She seems to wee daily but will poo anything between once and three times between feeds. It depends which side (warm or cool) she decides to digest on too. She goes more frequently if she digests her meal on the warm side, but if it is the cool side she will just leave one large deposit for me! Hope the first feed goes well, all the firsts with a new snake are nerve racking that is for sure. Let us know how she goes, would love to hear

Corns wee? I have never noticed Lovecraft giving off any fluid except when he poops; it seems to all come out at the same time... have I just been missing it then?

It is the general consensus Marcus that it comes out at the same time as the poop but my little one seems to make a dash from one "site" in the viv to another for her doings! Looking forwards to hearing about how her first feed goes for sure
