08/30/05 1:10AM- What the hell was that sound????

I have just heard one of the most disgusting sound, and it was coming from my Ball Python. I immeadiately went to her cage and she appeared to be having "explosive Diarreah" and I am at a loss for any explanation. She is a 04' yearling, but smaller than the other 04' girls because she was a runt and a slow feeder. EBV was kind enought to board her there for free and get her feeding.
She became one of my best feeders, she ate while in shed on 08/26 and shed on 08/28.
She is feeding on small rats and the rats are from a great local breeder. Humd. and Temp. are "textbook" and none of my other Ball Pythons have exhibited anything like this, I get normal waste from them.
Back to the incident, she did expel a small amount of loose brown stool. She does not appear swollen in the Cloacal region, as if she was constipated.
If anyone has experienced this in any form with their snakes can you please provide any information?
Thank you greatly-Casey

I did last night. My sub adult had diarrhea and I have no idea why. I had fed her a day or so ago and she seemed to be leaking cornstarchy liquid and loose stool. Did you ever find out what it was? Is everything alright with your Ball?
