A few things. First of all, when you feed a snake small meals relative to its size, it frequently won't go to that bathroom after every one. I would be willing to bet that now that you switched over to larger meals he will defecate more regularly. Increasing humidity would also help with any constipation. I wouldn't really worry about constipation until 2 full weeks go by. That being said, soaking is something great to do for any snake constipated or not. It will help keep them hydrated, its good for their skin, and they get exercise if the container is large enough to swim a bit.



Cal kings will usually spend most of their time on the cool side of the tank so you can give them more room there. What type of UTH do you use? Try a heat lamp during the day to raise the basking temp with the UTH on 24 hours for night time heat.
