I gave Cane a warm soak in our tub, and he passed enough poo that it looked like a medium size dog did it!

Upon closer inspection a big chunk of the repti-bark bedding was lodged in the feces. Along with enough hair to make a few mouse wigs!

So now I know they fed him in his enclosure. and knowing it has not been cleaned in 4 months, the lack of feces in the cage indicates he has been impacted for at least that long.

His vent closed back up normally, no worries there.

Taking some to the vet for a float in the morning, just to make sure no parasites are in there.

Screen top, forced air heat, too small a water bowl (a sewer of a water bowl at that) equals a dehydrated python.

He just ate a small mouse for me, and is settled in resting comfortably.

It seems as if he can tell its going to be a lot better from now on. Maybe I am daydreaming, but he looks very content.

Next warm day, He's gonna feel grass under that belly
