Mine goes after about 3 of 4 meals. But I believe it depends on the size of the snake. How old is yours. Their is always a chance it could be constipated but after only 2 males I wouldnt worry yet.

She is just a few months old i wont start to worry until another few feeds then

Ball pythons have very slow metabolisms, and don't usually go after just 2 meals. I have had some go after 10 meals or more. I wouldn't worry just yet.

my BP is a couple months old as well and he goes every 3 or so meals, so far he's mostly gone with every shed...i wake up and find a shed and 1 (once i found 2) defications..all i can say is when they go..they REALLY go...lol. but anyways 2 feeds and no poop is nothing to worry about.

Some of mine poop after every feeding, some not for a month or more. They don't need your help to stay regular, let them poop when they want and don't stress the small stuff.
