Default snake hasnt pooed

ive had my rp for 3 weeks now and shes had 3 feeds but still hasnt had a
poo.

Ive just given her a warm bath and left her in there for 10mins (is this to
long) hoping that there will be some movement.

but what i want to know is if this is normal, and how often do they
usually go

10 minutes isnt too long 20 would be fine, provided you keep an eye on it! and royals do sometimes take a while to leave you a package, im sure if you handle him for a while then put him back in a luke warm tub of water he may go, but if not leave it a day and try again. What are you feeding him on and how often?
