sid hasnt had a poo in a while i noticed one when i cleaned out his viv earlier but that was dust so must have been an old one but other than that i havent seen anything :3 should i be worried?
Unless he's acting out of sorts I really wouldn't worry. Give him a shallow lukewarm bath if you think he could be struggling but my advice would be to take him out and handle him over your best pair of jeans :) SPLAT!

he is his usual self and i just got him out for a bit as he usually likes topoopon me, but he didn't today will keep an eye on it though. and ive never bathed him heard it can be quite stressful for them
Instead of plopping him into the bath just put a large bowl or container with barely warm water in the viv. That way he has the option whether to take a dip or not and won't be stressed. Some snakes will take to water, others will just freak out.

very true.you don't want to stress him out for no reason and some snakes really do not like it
i have a heat mat which is regulated by the habitstat and i use the exo terra digital thermometer to check the temps and the sensors are directly on the heat mat, temps range from 27c / 29c and i will try that thanks
Unless there's any unusual bumps or bulges etc from midway to vent I wouldn't worry to much. They tend to start bulging abit if there holding it or have impacted.
poop worry
