I had two graybands do this, both acquired from the same person at the same time. The stools were not normal color however.

The vet told me it was a bacterial infection after fecal analysis. He said the food source was likely the reason, as in thawed rodents that were not maintained at proper conditions when frozen for example. His words, his guess.

He administered some drugs, including Flagyl. Snakes showed no symptoms after that. Hopefully your story ends well.
