constipated snake

One of my snakes (about 1 year old) seems to be constipated. There is dried pooh at his anus. I bathed him about a week ago and it cleaned up the area. He ate the next day and i thought we were better, but now, there is more dried pooh there and it looks like he is constipated again. His tank stays warm enough at one end, so I think he is digesting well.

Any other suggestions?
 
Try soaking him in water (Just put him in a tub with maybe 3/4 of an inch of water enough that he can touch the bottom easily but still submerge himself. Let him try that for a while that might help. Has he had an actual bowel movement at all?
 
Thanks. I've done that last week and it seems to help a little. I thought he would clear out. I will do it again and see if it finishes the job. Thank you
