I hardly ever see my rainbow boa poo. I'm sure she does it, but I use Eco-earth and orchid bark mix as a substrate so it will blend in. That's why cleaning then out regulary is so important.

What substrate are you using?

If you want to be sure, about 4-5 days after a feed give your rainbow a nice warm bath. That usually makes snakes poo within about 2 minutes. You'll see it then
