Is this healthy?

Damien, my 2 year old male, eats a medium rat every week.
Now I have seen him leave some nice "surprises"...but today I walked by his cage, and there was a poop that looks like it could have been left in there by a medium sized dog. I mean, it was huge. (I'm not trying to be gross)
Is this normal? I mean, he's almost as thick as a soda can, so he is no small snake. I just want to make sure nothing is wrong with him.

LOL, not ta worry. It's normal for a snake that size. Be glad it's not an adult burmese .

Go to know.
I feel kinda bad for him though...I mean, that MUST have hurt.
He's the biggest snake I have ever owned. I had a 4 foot corn snake at one point, but he never had feces that size, hence my worry.
But, as long as all is good, I am not worried.
