Small little question
So its been about 4 months since my borneo has gone #2, now I know that have abnormally slow digestive systems but is this too long in between? and if so what are some remedies for this?

From what i read on this forum and heard from people... They can go even 6 months.. and record I believe was 9... You can expect Big pile of #2 in nearest future 
If You really Worry and You can actually see and feel "incoming" You can give him little batch in luke warm water.. sometimes its help to..... release...

If you are worried like above said you can soak them in a little warm water and that seems to help them release. Also if you are really worried take him to a vet to ensure he isnt overly backed up or something is blocking him.
Does he eat regularly or is he off of feed at the moment?

Four months for a borneo isn't too long. I foresee a large poop to answer your "small little question" in the near future 
As the others have said, you can for sure try the soaking method, usually it'll loosen them right up, but it's not something to worry over right now if you ask me.

Lol yes I expect that as well, last time he went i couldnt believe something that large could come out of a little snake. To answer the above question he is a feeding every 7 days and a small rat and has never refused it so he is a little piggy

Re: Small little question
I have a female that held it for about a year and 2 months, and eventually unloaded a HUGE one on her own. I do not necessarily think that it was healthy for her to hold it that long and she did have a very minor prolapse, which retracted on its own. She has had no problems since then and defecates on a normal schedule. No worries
