Healthy juvenile leo belly, or not?

This is the belly of my approximately 2 month old Leo, Meep. I purchased him on the 31st of January, and his age is a rough estimate.

He's not incredibly active within his tank, he tends to just relax in his cave, but he is very active when held. He will climb up my arms and jump and sprint at random.

He has been a healthy pooper for the entire near month I've had him, except the last poop I saw was a bit more watery than usual. It didn't look mushy, just that there was more of a puddle around it.

Since then, (a few days ago) he has shed and ate his shedded skin. He hasn't really eaten to my knowledge in the past two days but I think it is only because of the recent shedding.

I am, however, easily worried and thus I must make sure that his belly is not showing signs of impaction. There are no bumps, just the dark spots as seen in the picture, which I believe are only organs, but I am not sure.

The reason I am concerned about possible impaction is because I was feeding him mealworms that might have been a bit on the big side for him. He is on a reptile carpet substrate, by the way.

Thanks for the help!
