feeding sure, but defecation is a bit obvious. snakes are tubes with a hole on either end. it goes in, it goes out. the thing is it's pretty hard to miss a snake that is backed up as you can see it and you most definitely can feel it.

if you think a snake looks like its carrying a bit of extra gear in the rear, put it in a large enclosure to get it moving and exploring or a bit of a warm soak.

i used to keep basins so i was used to the get it in the shower to deficate routine, but i've never had a ball need this sort of thing... though i can understand impactions do happen on occasion for various reasons with the rare ball python here and there. but it does seem far reaching to need dumping records.
