no, they only poop when they have a fresh clean cage. the scenario: (every single freakin time) feed, no mess for week or two, you finally decide that there must be some in there and you just can't find it, so you clean the whole thing. next morning: 2 pounds of poop from a 1 lb snake. (ok not really, but its a lot) you reclean the cage and a repeat.
>>She's about to shed for you but their skin goes from blue back to normal and the process varies by snake and amount of intake. My guess is tomorrow night she will shed for you so don't worry just remember to give her a moist hide over the next couple of days. Pinky mice sounds small and my guess is she needs a hopper size one. The amount of nutrition she is getting out of that pinky mouse doesn't leave much for a poop so at that rate it could be every 2-3 weeks on that intake but maybe not but Dave would know. Snakes don't usually poop also until they are out of their shed either (Frank Roberts theory) and it makes since cuz their skin is seperating from the old skin so sight is at its worse so they hold it in as to not draw potential predators by them. Step up the food and keep it humid and you will have fresh skin and fresh poop to scoop out
