hello everyone, ive had a baby bp for about 2 months, he is about 140 g, he is eating the smallest adult mouse i could find which is about 20 g each, when i got him i out him on hoppers but two weeks ago i switched him to the adult, and he ate them fine, but hes much fatter, near his vent it is very blown up and i was expecting poo soon, today i gave him a bath, nothing happened, i look at the area near the vent and the belly was much redder. Also i think he might be shedding soon, (his eyes are blue misty) could this be why hes not pooping

To answer your question, the "Swollen" look by your snake's vent is most likely poop waiting to come out. Shedding does not always stop a snake from going to the bathroom, but sometimes it does. Also, there is no need to soak them to get them to go to the bathroom, they go when they want to.

Hope that helps some!

Most of my balls shed and poo on the same day, thats probably what yours is going to do too their bellys do get pink before a shed and with some lighter bellied morphs and normals its really easy to see.
Also that mouse is 14% of your boys body weight which is perfect
