Eyeballing his poop isn't going to confirm that he's clear of internal parasites.

I would strongly recommend that any wild caught snakes that you plan on keeping be treated prophylactically for internal parasites.

Do the snake a favor, get your friend at Luray to recommend a vet that can treat him for potential parasites. Also save up a bit and invest in a scale.
