Quite.. unfortunately! Blaze does that when hes about to poo, there is a very distinct line where the vent in. 2 days or so you'll wake up to a lovely present. |

It may be worth doing a full clean of his viv (substrate change, disinfect etc). Snakes will often poo in a freshly changed viv. |

oh and while he's in the bath encourage him to move around........run your hands down the tail-half of his body, try and get him to bend or swim around your hand in the water too |

definitely looks a bit bunged up from that pic hun.........
plenty of short sessions of handling him to try and get his guts going, keep persevering with the bath, even if it's for up to half an hour (you may need to very carefully top up the water once or twice in that time as it goes too cold quite quickly) |

Is that thick or thin? As long as there arnt any solid bumps I wouldnt worry too much as its a growing snake. |

it really depends on the meal size and frequency but generally they don't go as often as corns, and certainly when they get bigger expect a JCP to flood the enclose with urates!! lol
i certainly wouldn't be worry about her not going for several weeks... |

Give him a very gentle rub down his body, any lumps or slight bumps you can feel? |
