Skink looks to strain when he poops

Hey guys!
My 1 year old Nothern seems to strain a bit when he poops recently. Any suggestions for something I could specifically add to the diet to make that easier for him?
Thanks!

Difficult to say, maybe try bathing him in luke warm water for a while. It can be caused by different things (from not drinking enough, parasites or more extremes such as organ problems). What is his current diet like? It may give a bit of insight on potential changes :)
