It depends on the species, and age of the snake. My hatchling corns will defecate four days after feeding, yet my adult Burmese pythons take well over two weeks.
A snake cannot digest a human. If the human was a very small child, like a baby, than about 4-5 days.

How long does it take a snake to eat a mouse?
To swallow - a couple of minutes. To digest - about a week. Depends on how big the mouse is compared to the snake. A small meal could be swallowed in under a minute and take a day to digest. Average-sized meals can take 10-30 minutes to swallow and take 3-7 days to digest. A very large meal could even take a few hours to swallow and take several weeks to digest.
How long does it take to digest a mouse?
It depends what has eaten the mouse.If a venomous snake eats a mouse, it first of all catches it by biting it and injecting it with venom. Besides killing th mouse the venom actually starts to digest the mouse from the inside. This is important because the snake is a cold blooded animal and if the mouse takes too long to digest in the snake it may go bad inside the snake before it is digested.After eating, snakes become dormant while the process of digestion takes place. Being cold-blooded (ectothermic), the surrounding temperature plays a large role in a snake's digestion. 30 degrees Celsius is the ideal temperature for snakes to digest their food. The digestive process is highly efficient, with the snake's digestive enzymes and venom dissolving and absorbing everything but the prey's hair and claws, which are excreted along with waste. The time it takes for this digestion to complete depens on the external temperature and the size of the mouse but you are looking at a period of 5 to 6 days.If a cat eats the mouse then as a cat is warm blooded and very active and the mouse will be digested in about 6 hours.If an owl eats a mouse then the owl will spit out the fur and bones as a pellet in about 3 hours.
How long does it take for a corn snake to digest a mouse?
could it take 24 hrs ??? --- not sureyou should wait to feed your cornsnake again until you see that it has pooped, that usually means that within 24 to 48 hrs it will be hungry again, or at least that's how mine is :)~, or you could try offering a live mouse once a week, if he does not take the mouse within an hour, take it out and house it or take it back to the pet store, and try again a day later, cause the mouse will get up courage and attack your snake. if your snake is eating frozen mice, i would get him on the once a week schedual, or just wait for nature to come calling and watch for poo.
