I have to ask however because I couldn't find it in search. 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? (Notice the gratuitous use of the word "poop"? Sorry about that.)

No you dont have to wait untill it poops to feed, as long as it does so eventually and you should feed
him once every 5 to 7 days which is about right for a young snake

Sometimes hatchies won't even 'poop' after every meal. I feed every 3-5 days usually.
