You need to take him to a vet ASAP. Sounds like it might be a tape worm.

Sorry,I miss read... Doesn't sound like a tape worm...thought it read one long worm..anyway it still needs a vet to see what kind of worms they are and needs to be treated. ALL worms that come from inside the body are a parasite. You should move the snake from the rest of your collection to avoid any cross contamination.
