Loose Stool

Hi. I've been fostering an eight month old, rescue ball python for about a month. In that time, she's eaten once.

Last Friday, about two weeks after she last ate, I found her having difficulty shedding, despite humidity in the sixties. In addition, she had passed a large amount of very watery stool. Otherwise, she looked alert and healthy, and finished shedding just fine after a good soak. Unfortunately, I had to leave town the next day, but yesterday I got home to find that she had passed, along with some urates, about a teaspoon of a foul-smelling, orange, jellylike substance.

So, is this cause for alarm? I'm thinking of taking a sample to the vet the next time she defecates, but is it safe to try feeding her? She's been slightly more active that usual, but otherwise is behaving normally.

Do you know what she ate before you got her? One of mine had some funky stools after eating a hairless mouse (the pet store was out of the furry kind). I've heard that chicks/quails can do some weird stuff too.
