How long after eating do royals usually go to the toilet? I don't think I'm weighing accurately.

My ball is still quite young and I don't think I've seen any big lumps of poo like I'd expect to see about the size of a fuzzy mouse.

Thank you

Mine tend to poo after they shed
Some surprise me and do it every so often

If we was talking hognose snakes
They go 1-2 days after they have feed
Strange how diffrent snakes are sometimes

My Royal poops about 3 times a year, not very often at all but when they go by goodness they really go, it looks likes a gorillas leg.

Having had mine long fed once and shed once and it kinda looks like a very small bird poo? He did it when he shed and possibly a little today, I don't really know what I'm looking for, I assumed they had a poo every week before there next meal?

Yeah my Duke poops around shedding time, usually just before. They are all different though, some may drink more water and wee a lot, others dont drink so much and barely wee, they all drop urates, like big white/green stones, thats their version of having a wee when they dont want/need to expel water and that usually comes out with poop but not always, they have complex bathroom habits but providing they aren't bulging at the seams or more importantly the vent then they are normally just fine.

Mine went about 3 months without a poo an had been fed every 5 days. I was worried but had a look round her vent and no obvious bulging so I let her get on with it. She poo'd the other day so I finally had a proper weight for her. She is still you g and growing though so I think she's probably getting everything she can from her food.
