Snake Constipated?

:shrugs: I bought a hatchling on July 23 and she has yet to poop. I fed her a pinkie on thursday then another on monday but still no poop. She's due to eat again tomarrow, but a friend recommended waiting until she does poop.
-so should I wait to feed her?
-or is this perfectly normal, and I shouldn't make my snake go hungry?
 
A warm-water soak should move things along

I've done this before with snakes that hadn't left me anything to clean up for too long. Make sure (1) the water is only warm, not hot, (2) it's not so deep that the snake can't easily get its head up out of the water, and (3) don't leave the snake in there for more than about 15 minutes. Too long of a soak can actually further dehydrate the snake.
 
I thought my little guy wasn't pooping either. When I cleaned the tank I found that the sneaky thing had been hiding it under the substrate :) . You may have to search a little to find the poop.
