Im looking for some advice about my ball python

[JodanOrNoDan]

Update: I went to the vet and the vet said he's a little thin but nothing to worry about. He said he looks healthy and to basically just keep doing the stuff I'm doing (husbandry wise). The thing that bothers me is that he felt for any obstructions but when I asked him if we can try to get the debris out of his cloaca region he said that that's not necessary. I asked what about infection and he said if there was infection it would be red and swollen around the cloaca region. But why not look? This guy really didn't want to. I was told he was experience with snakes but I doubt it. I'd like to try to get it out myself but I'm not sure how to and I don't want to hurt my boy!

Did he confirm that "he" is a "he"?
