Some snakes can hold in their poop for a very long time, and will only poop once they've had 2 meals or even more. So i would not use the defecating schedule as a feeding schedule.. Also, some snakes poop within 3 days after being fed, which is way to soon to be fed again.

Assuming anrew is an adult male (??) I would feed him once every 3 to 4 weeks, but only if he forages. If he is younger he will need more food.
