Its not really in sync with their eating. I would say every month and half-ish. But it varies with indeviduals.

Yes it does cary from one to the other.
My Grace pooed twice in one day. How wierd was that.

I know there is a difference between mammals and reptiles etc, but do you and lots of your mates have a poo on the same day after eating a nice meal ? No, i did not think so. It all depends on the make up of the individual and that equates to all living life.

I must addmit that I was starting to wonder what snake poo looked like after a couple of weeks after getting Grace, but you will soon see the difference between a piece of orchid bark and poo.
Grace`s poo tends to be about two inches in length and about the thickness of a pencil.
This is such a good learning curve
