Strange looking and/or smelly feces(like the one you pictured), snake that regurgitates, loss of body weight.
If you do those things we all mentioned(to the letter) in your earlier posts, and the snake STILL regurgitates a VERY small meal, such as a pinkie head, then it is extremely important you get it to a vet ASAP!. Small snakes like yours do NOT have enough body size to cope with such problems for very long at all.
As Don mentioned(and I agree) that stool doesn't look normal.
Medication(s) can quickly turn things around in a positive direction. I suspect Flagyl(Metronidazole) might be very beneficial for the snake in this instance, and I have used this in the past with great success on a few snakes, but leave it up to a qualified vet to diagnose.
