My snake pooped right after eating. Is this normal or concerning?

Pet's info: Reptile | Other Snake | Male | 11 months and 11 days old

So I feed my snake every Thursday. He pooped from last week's meal on Monday. I fed him again about an hour ago, and within 45 minutes if eating, he pooped again. Is this normal? Should I be worried? He's never done that before, so I'm concerned. Is this something to be worried about?

Thanks for reaching out about Francis. If the stool appears well formed and normal otherwise, monitoring the situation is appropriate. If Francis is showing any behavioral or other changes, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
