I'm sure some one else will come along soon but in the mean time a few questions. what is he feeding? how often? is he fed in rub or in viv on substrate? when did he last go? has he been/appear to have been drinking more water recently? Does he appear ok now, no blood, pinkness around vent etc?

He's been fed on chicks for about 12 years, once a week. In a viv on substrate, last went about last week. Waters same an he seems alright have checked him under...I've had him a year or so an was first time it had happened thought it was a bit strange.
Chicks can do that to snakes, they're not ideal food for snakes and can upset the stomach. Personally I would try to move over to rats but you may have difficulties from it having been fed chicks for so long.
as BE said, it could just be due to the food. A bad egg so to speak. i think you had mentioned before in a thread a while ago about this snake being on chicks? Really would be a benefit to the snake if you could get it on to rodents, and of course rats would be best. what weight is he? I would suggest trying with rats and scenting them with the chicks.
