Hey guys.

So I feed my ball python once a week. I've been feeding him two small hoppers each feeding, live. I always watch very carefully and there hasn't been any problems. He hasn't gone to the bathroom for a couple weeks. I try to soak him once a week at least. He's a couple months old. I keep the temperature at about 80 degrees using a heat lamp and I use heating pad on the hot side, humidity between 45-60, he has a hot hide with moss, a cold hide, a little branch, and a water bowl between the hides in the middle of the tank. I use aspen shavings for the substrate. The problem is that his lower half is a bit swollen and I believe it's called the anal scale is protruding a little. He doesn't seem to be acting weird at all... I felt for any signs of constipation but there doesn't seem to be any. Any ideas? I only noticed an hour ago. :/

Sincerely,
