Poop, what am I missing?

I've had my 3 snakes for about 3 weeks now. 2 have eaten twice after tonight and the third had her first pinky after a clean shed. I am yet to see poop still. Does it have a strong odor that I would detect if I smell in the cage? After reading about regurges I smell all my tanks just to check. I've taken the decor out and looked the closest thing I've found is a small amount of what looked like dry bird poop where Arinna likes to perch on some silk plants but it was a very small amount and I'd guess it could not be a full load. What is a normal length to go without pooing? Do they bury it? I'm sure tonight they will all go but tell me what to look for.
 
If they are all babies, their poop is very very small and it doesn't smell much especially if they're on aspen.
 
Is there risk then if it gets lost in the substrate? I use aspen in one and reptibark for the other 2. I know people say to spot clean but if you can't find it....
 
It will be okay if you can't find it. Babies tend to poop on the walls and in the corners, under the substrate.
 
I had the same problem. I changed the aspen and found it all on the glass underneath. It didn't smell at all. It's TINY. It really does look more like bird poop than anything.
Then they eat and grow.......And you find your little bird poops have turned into eagle bombs!!
 
Well ask and ye shall receive it seems.... Took Khaleesi the little princess out for a bit and she gave me a very good look at snake crap. Clear stuff, a almost boiled eggs yolk matter, and the bird poo element. Just hope it comes out of my hoodie.
 
LOL, Nick,

Well....At least you found it, I have adults that hide theirs in the Aspen. I think it's a funny game for them.
I'm continually searching with my bare hands and it's not funny when I happen on a fresh one.

Ugh, Rowdy. Can you use a poop scoop?
 
I tried a poop scoop, Seems to get aspen in the water bowl and everywhere It's not wanted.
Guess I'll have to think something else up. On the plus side, the snakes
probably get a laugh.
