it varies from snake to snake ... mostly anywhere between 2-4 days in my experience ... handling can stimulate them to go though if they have one "ready" :D

Mine does it on the 3rd and 4th day.

What type of Substrate do you have Nickinoonoo? If you have aspen or chippings a hatchies poop will be mostly un-noticable. I have mine on kitchen roll and its easy to spot.

If you're sure she hasn't pooped (just to let you know it's often not one big poo but can be lots of little bits which can be hard to spot) then you could try giving her a warm bath, NOT HOT!!! This can help if they're a bit bunged up. Sometimes just handling can stimulate things enough to get them going too.
I'm new to corns but i've used this method on other types of snake, if this is wrong for corns someone please feel free to correct me!

Good luck nickinoonoo, hope she can poop soon!

Its prob best to lay kitchen roll down as a substrate first for the next feed or two before trying to bath the snake. Not all corns are happy bathing. Tho i have seen some enjoying a bath in a sink .

If all goes well with the kitchen roll, go back to you substrate. Hatchie poo is small and dries out quickly and will easily get lost in aspen and chippings.

feeding every 5 days or so, 7-8 days gives you the 2 - 3 days.
Corns dont pass food that quick, the meal they pass after 2 days of eating is the previous meal, not the one they just had.

It depends on temps as well, could be anything from 5 days to 10 days, not 2.
