I don't know how much you have worked around pythons, but some species release fair amounts of relatively clear, tea-colored liquid on occasion. This is normal and mostly seen in the larger python species and anacondas, with some individuals of these species expelling more than others. Enteric disorders, whether parasitic or bacterial, typically produce a fecal diarrhea that is a little thicker than this and more opaque, and definitely of a stronger odor. Everything else that you described appears to be normal, but it is obviously difficult to tell without actually seeing the situation. If you do decide to take this snake to a vet, I would be interested to hear the diagnosis. Thanks,

Kelly
