Sounds a bit odd - I would get him/her to the vet if you suspect a problem of this nature. Could he/she have retained a bit of old skin over the anal scale at the last shed? If the snake can't poo because of this, it might not be too keen to eat, which might explain it. Do let us know how you get on.
