I have a baby normal and yearling cinnamon ball pythons with pretty bad constipation. Last winter the window in my reptile room got left open and the room basically froze. Half of my snakes lived including these two. I'm wondering if the accident caused the issue.

Have you checked your temps? Do they have access to clean water? Worst case scenario I would give them a long soak in warm water, that usually helps loosen things up. Sounds to me like a housing issue rather than the result of something that happened last year though.

I'm also curious, are you just using ambient temps or do you have UTH? You might consider looking into the belly heat, especially living somewhere with nasty winters where the ambient temps are harder to control.

I've been wanting to put belly heat on them for a long time. I was thinking the heat was the problem. I'm building a new rack with belly heat because the design of the current one just doesn't really allow it.
