it could be mucus, he could be sick, have a cold, bacterial infection..
should take him to a good reptile vet asap...
are you providing enough heat and humidity?

Sounds like a bacterial infection. Could have been caused by a bad rat, dirty water, cool temps leading to improper digestion, etc. Take it to a vet for a stool swab and that will determine what type of bacteria. He will probably send you home with some injections for the snake and that should clear it up. Just try to find a vet that is familiar with herps.
Good Luck,
Matt
