Question is: Do you have to wait until your snake poops before you feed it again? My hatchie olive seems to go quite a long time from feed to poop. I've seen a lot of advice stating that hatchies should eat once a week. Will he be fine if i feed him once a week even if he hasn't pooped out the last meal?

Then I had a closer inspection and it was a shell of a cocoon from some ground dwelling grub come moth. I found it on the dirt floor of the garden/wood shed out the back. It had come out of a hole in the ground and then done its thing.
Is anybody brilliant enough to be able to ID the species from a cocoon?
or secondary give me a shot in the general direction?

I'm having a little trouble with my temperature regime... during the day the temperature (on the heated en) crawls up to about 28 or 29 and drops to around 20 (maybe lower..) at night time... first off is this not good?? the temps take a while to reach 28 in the morning (peaks from about 11-4)...
second how rapidly should they drop.... should it be more gradual? and lastly... any ways I can improve? (a few examples of regimes would be much appreciated) my cage is 120cmX60X70 and i have a 100w ceramic heater hooked up to a thermostat set at 30 on the heated end... also i have tried putting another 60w ceramic heater as well as the 100w....but the whole cage heats up to 29-32....

I have one snake who has never eaten anything but fresh killed. Unfortunately, my family owns cats, and one of them decided to help himself to my rodent colony, so today I had to buy frozen mice for my snakes. I was worried that the snake who had never eaten frozen before might not eat it, but he took it like a champ and ate both the rodents I offered him!

i've attached a photo
the one second from the left is what im worried about its all skiny at the end and the middle toe still has skin on it...i dont want to hurt him by forcing it off?

Just looking for a bit of advise. I have cut through the internal wall of some 2 foot enclosures to make a 4 foot enclosure and I now have some exposed timber (melamine). What can I use to seal the exposed parts with? I have some Bondcrete but I'm not sure if It is all right to use on the internal part. I don't want to use the iron on melamine. Is there any other product anyone else has any experience with?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am picking up my first python (a Bredli) on Saturday.

with enclosures, i've decided to get a medium-large sized one to start with
(i know people say to start small but there are just as many people saying they don't start in small enclosures in the wild..)
and i'll replace it when it needs a larger one.
The trouble im having is, people here are very conflicted with height vs length for bredlis so i think im going to get this one
http://reptileguys.com.au/store/inde...&products_id=7
because theres still quite a bit of room for branches for climbing etc.
does this look allright?
i've heard its also much easier to control the temps etc in longer enclosure
http://reptileguys.com.au/store/inde...&products_id=1 this was the alternative to the longer one.
i was also curious as to the best way to heat a larger enclosure, i know people use the heat mats with click clacks but i wasn't sure if the heat would still get through with enclosures like these?
and are night globes such as these http://reptileguys.com.au/store/inde...products_id=26 recommended for bredlis?

sorry for the long post, just want to make sure i have all the info i can possibly get before i pick him up!
if theres any other kind of info you have i'd loe to hear it :)
