I am wondering how often the royal python poops? i've had mine for five weeks and he has eaten 5 pinkys. He looks like his eyes are cloudy, I don't know how often he sheds either...

Pinks are too small of a meal for a ball python -- you should to feed him something that is about as big around as he is at his widest part. Once he doesn't need every little ounce of nutrition you give him just to survive he will start expelling waste and growing and shedding.

Start feeding bigger meals weekly and it will poop regularly. It is probably in shed now and will poop when done. Keep humidity up for the duration of shed.

I agree, you should be feeding bigger. But to answer your question, most of mine only seem to defecate when they shed. Every now and then we get a surprise, but usually they like to take care of everything at once, lol.
