Need help with a constipated boa

I have a new baby Columbian RTB who has been eating just fine for the last 4 weeks. Every 5-7 days she eats a fuzzy without issue. She hasn't been defecating recently (about 2 weeks ago was the last I noticed) and now her anus is swollen, slightly pink and it appears that there is fecal matter right at the brink of coming out. I noticed it slightly a few days ago but today is much worse.

It's the weekend and everything is closed in my area except for one 24 hour vet. But as my luck will have it, they're closed for training.

I have never dealt with a constipated snake before but I'm assuming that soaking her in warm water could help. Anyone else have any ideas?
