I've had my California kingsnake (2'3", 115g) for maybe 2 months now... but I've only found [bleep]e in there once so far... and that was back like when I got her. I've been feeding her several very small pinkies once a week. I tried placing her in some mildly warm water to stimulate but she just kept climbing out of it, never in there for more than 10 seconds. Should I be concerned?

Feed it more... with only a few pinkies/ week it probably doesn't have enough to produce stool yet. At over 2' it could be eating hoppers by now. A good rule of thumb is to feed a prey item equal to, or slightly larger than the snake's girth at it's largest point.

Try putting the lid on the tupperware full of luke warm water. They cant climb out and are fine in there for a little while if the water is not too deep. Watch the snake if you are nervous but they can stay in it for 30 min easy if they have retained shed or need to defecate.
