The question is more like what is the snakes pooping schedule LOL. If the snake eats and poops and looks ready to eat, it is. OR, if the snake ate a few days ago and "should" be pooping again it is almost a given it will right after it eats again. This particular Brooksi never regurged once. Ate like a champ from day one. After the first 2 or 3 meals of a single pinky I start giving them a few pinkies. Then move them up to fuzzies, but usually only one or two for a while. Once they look like they would eat more...I feed them tons of food. If you read the article Breeding Colubrid Snakes by Steve Osborne you will see he mentions you need to feed a snake 100 food items in its first year if you want to get it up to breeding size fast. But as I mentioned, if your husbandry is right and your snakes are pooping within a few days of eating they will be ready to eat and eat and eat and eat some more. Not every snake will grow at this rate, but many are capable of it. Tom Stevens
