Tail?

I got a new adult corn today. He's been sexed and is male. My first corn.
He is super healthy but his tail looks weird. At the vent he just stops bing "plump" and their is his small tail that looks like it doesn't match his body? Is this normal?

Re: Tail?

Maybe he just needs to use the bathroom.

Re: Tail?

It looks slightly swollen but tough to say if it's just the pic to me.

Most likely, it needs to poop. It also could be overweight as corns will get "hips" similar to that if overfed.

Re: Tail?

I didn't see the full snake pic, wasn't showing. In the full snake picture it looks a bit funny. Aaron, hips would be an understatement. Those are thunder thighs.
