I don't know if you are dealing with impaction but it sounds like you may have another issue. Balls normally defecate every four to six weeks. They normally feed once a week. If you are only feeding your snake when it defecates than it probably isn't getting enough food. All will go well on that schedule unless it decides to go on a winter hunger strike or stops eating due to illness or some other unpredictable reason. Then things could start going wrong.
