Once the meal is reduced to poop, the snake can get rid of it through an anal opening, or cloaca, which is Latin for 'sewer. ' This opening can be found at the end of a snake's belly and beginning of its tail; unsurprisingly, the feces are the same width as the snake's body.

Do snakes poop yes or no?

Snakes possess an organ called a cloaca, which controls basically all of their down-there functions: eggs, mating and, yes, poop and wee. Like birds, they excrete a poop-wee mixture, rather than separating them. ... Much like humans, snakes excrete more or less depending on how much, and how often, they eat.
