Bag the poop, put in the fridge till you can get it to the vet, and have them do a fecal check on it.

and is this something i need to do on a regular basis...

I've never done it with any of my snakes.

alright cool. i figure if he is acting the way he always has been acting then he is fine... sorry i am just a lil paranoid bout my little dude

If he is eating, pooing and shedding regularly (which you can't really determine because you haven't had him long enough) I would say he is fine. Is he active during the day? Do you handle him a lot?

we do handle him a lot but not when he is shedding or feeding...and obviously a few days after feeding....

I sometimes find when I handle my bp's for more than 15 minutes at a time, they decide to explore their tubs for an hour or two. This isn't necessarily bad, I guess they just get excited or something, lol.

ya exactly. that is what he does.... but as long as he seems happy and acts normal then he is good.....
