Training & Behaviorhi, are snake has been acting rather odd reasently. we redid his tank (new substrate, cleaned the glass and bottom, disinfected the hides/ojects in it) we were putting the light back in but it blew so we could not get a light for atleast two weeks in
The changes to his enclosure may have caused stress. Low temps can affect digestion in reptiles. If temps were down, this could affect defecation. Try soaking him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes. This will provide warmth and hydration. To stimulate defecation, gently massage the belly from front to back during the soak. If the behavior persists, consider an exam with your veterinarian or vet experienced in treating reptiles.
