Runny Stool?

My 07' female took a large bowel movement and included under the repticarpet was dark "almost black" liquid stool. 90pct of it was a healthy firm stool. I'm not sure if maybe she was impacted for some reason and finally passed it or if this is more serious than i think. What causes "runny stools"?

Thank you in advance.

I would get rid of the repticarpet and put her on aspen, paper towel or newspaper.. bacteria can build up in the carpet very easily!

could just be urine, but that's just a guess.

A ball pythongs poop should be dry and some what chalky.

if its runny next time i would take it to a vet as infections and parasites can cause chronic runny stool. is it green in any way or does it smell abnormally strong or bad?

Bag it and schedule a vet visit. Stick it in your fridge in the meantime (I know, gross). Have a fecal float done to get her tested for parasites.
