3 months ago I aquired an adult ball python. I know he passed a ton of feces in the store just before I bought him, but they didn't have a record of how often it's been eating/defecating/shedding as he had just been sold to them by someone who got bored of him. He seems to be in extremely good health, and has been eating 1 small rat every two weeks without losing weight.

It's been 3 months sine it last passed any feces however, and I'm wondering if I should be worried at this point. If so, bath in warm water? or should I leave him be for a bit longer before I start intervening?

Thanks!
