I am afraid I won't be of much help to you but when my BP went after I got him it looked just like something that comes out of my Chihuahua. It didn't look like my rat snake's droppings at all.

As for what you have, I hope someone who can tell what is going on answers. I haven't seen anything like that but I am new. Hope he's alright though.

sounds like it might just be pee. Snakes are very efficient, so their urine looks more like a blob of yellowish white plaster or paris, and dries just like it, too.

Vomit tends to come shortly after eating (at least from my limited experience with snake puke), and looks just like a gross, half digested rodent.

If it is funky feces, you'd probably be able to detect some hair fibers from the rodent.

Hope that helps!
