That is normal everything you feed them at a young age goes to there growth.i also have a redtaikl 35 inchs long and she goes about every 10 days.

this is normal. I was freaking out about the same thing when I started out but your snake should be fine. If you are really worried about it then you could soak the snake for 10-15 minutes in cool water. That sometimes induces defication.
Let us know when all is well your picking up poop...lol.
