Should I search better...

I've had my snake for about 4 days now...it ate his/her pinky on monday..without any problems. But the thing is....you all say that cleaning its fescies(I spelled it wrong didn't I )is a dayly job....but the only time I saw some was on the first day in its travelbox....

Should I be concerned or is it because he/she still has to digest its meal

They typically don't poop every day. I'd just do a quick search daily just to be sure there is nothing that needs to be removed (poop, urates, etc.). You should expect your snake to poop 2-3 days after its meal. Of course, this is just a rough estimate. It varies depending on the snake, the size of the meal, temps, etc.

Oh ok, just checking because I don't want it to harm its health

Don't be surprised if you don't find much of anything

When they eat pinkies, most of the food is digested and very little is eliminated. The only thing that you may see is the white/yellow urine spot.

Should be rather easy. I use Repti-Bark, a similar product and it shows up well.

This is just me, others may do differently. Every day I take Sage out and handle him, while I'm doing that I'll do a quick scan of visable places that might need cleaning. I have a smaller enclosure I put him in, since I'm the only one here that will do this, and change his water, and pick up the hides to do a quick 'sweep' of the area. Its always better to be safe than sorry later.
