    Not pooping (defecating) for a month or longer is actually more common among young snakes, because even though they may eat more often, their prey is also
    young, with less hair & smaller bones, so it's more fully digested with far less "left-over" as waste that needs to be expelled. It's typical for them to take any number
    of meals before they have to "go".

    He does seem to have "sausage butt" going on, but I'd give him a little more time. As far as time between sheds, it varies a great deal & isn't a big concern.
    I'm sure that snakes have their own "growth spurts" just like human children do, so don't expect him to have a perfect routine that matches the "average".

    Usually handling inspires some "action" from the tail, so I hope he doesn't decorate your sleeve...
