they go when they want to........some that are fed rats alot and often (overfed) will defecate alot.......usually they will only go every other week to 4......I have seen months between defecations........smaller balls go more often......big girls eat and hold it ........balls are actually slow digesters..they hold the item until all the nutrients are taken from it...in captivity we overfeed and therefore they have to go more often ,even though they don't get 100 % from it........baby snakes that go alot tend to smell worse.....it isn't fully broken down.......some people feed to the point of runny ,smelly,off colored feces...........it should smell like feces and be solid and dark ........

........try over feeding ratsnakes chicks......you'll see what I mean......
