So I've made a couple of posts about my new male ball python. He was born on 8/20 and I've had him since 9/17. He's grown from ~100g to ~150 grams in less than a month. He has shed once since I had him but he has yet to poop. He's eaten a LOT since I've had him, eating about once every 4-5 days.
Everything I've read says that it is normal for them to not poop for a while, but today I noticed that he has a reddish tinge around his vent.
It looks sort of engorged and I'm worried about possible impaction. He was only on aspen for a couple of days after I had him and since then he's been on newspaper.
Am I being overworried and he'll poop in the next few days and everything will be fine? Or should I be worried about impaction?
Note 1: He shed on 10/1
Note 2: I looked over the other Redness/Rash thread and this doesn't appear to be a "rash" just a general redness.
Thanks in advance.
