My snake very rarely passes solids unless he is put in the bath to relax his muscles. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

Hi and welcome...

Royals only go for twosies every 6-8 weeks, unless its not feeding and then it could be longer. A warm bath is very good way of getting a snake to go...the warm water relaxes them...

....however, unless there is an obvious blockage/bulge near the vent, there is no need. As Daz says, its not unusual for them to only go every few weeks or even only when they shed.
