when you snake does produce a bowel movement you will see it (unless your snake is having diarrhea). It looks like any other stool just with a fair amount of hair in it from the rodents. Mine only goes after a shed or 3ish meals (whichever comes first). Since he only eats every three weeks or so, he usually produces a sizable stool about every 2.5 months or so.
As for the warm soak, you fill a rubbermaid type container with just enough water to come about 1/3 of the way up the snakes sides. You don't want him to try and swim or feel like he's floating. The water needs to be no warmer than 90*F, 80-85* should be fine (cool to us, but fine for the snake). Keep in mind that water that shallow will cool quickly and you don't want to chill him. If he should go for you, just scoop it into a baggie or disposable seal-able container and stick it in the fridge. The sample will stay fresh for a day or so - so be sure to get it to the vet asap
No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much
