    I'd say take whatever she passed to the vet to see if it's some sort of parasite.

    A vet visit is in order i would say. Do you feed her in the enclosure,if so is she on some sort of loose substrate? This is a really really rough guess but maybe impaction from too much ingested substrate during feeding. They will usually have lumps due to the blockage,regurgitate the food being there is no where for it to fully exit,and lastly the poop a runny/watery half digested poop,that they literally have a hard time passing.

    I may be wrong,just though i give you my thought and hopefully she gets better make sure to keep us updated on how this goes.

    That is not normal. There is an obstruction and it's preventing the snake from processing food. I would really take it to the vet. Maybe an abscess or something but it really needs to be looked at.
