Looks like a congenital issue, but difficult to tell from photos alone.
As long as he's happy and normal in all other respects I wouldn't see it as an issue.
However, I wouldn't breed from him, if it's something you were thinking about at any time.

Aa above, it could be that he was born with it, or it could have happened later - corn snake babies are very fragile. But as long as he can poop ok, moves his tail, and is happy, it should be ok. Like herriotfan says, I wouldn't breed from him, though.
