It could be from eating too many hairless mice or being cold, it could also be a parasite. Those are just some possibilities. Check temp (must be high 80s) and humidity. Do not use cedar shavings for substrate. Take it to a vet if it continues, or it will dehydrate.

Ball python pooping liquid has many reasons. One reason is you may feeding too much for it. Adult python need less food than it was in younger.so you should reduce the food that you are feeding. Or the reason may be some infections or something. Better you call vetinary doctor.

Pythons only have one exit hole, so "poop" can vary with water content, as well as food content. It will also vary in color from white to yellowish to brown. Snakes commonly will poop when frightened or irritated. This poop is on average more watery as it is made to spray on the attacker.

i have only two snakes in one extremely large tank and there are no attackers. the only attack would most likely be mites. plus, the poop is like urine and (waste/poop) put together. it stinks really bad. do you have any suggestions?  add a comment

Your ball pythod poops liquid when it urinates or pees. It does this a lot more than it ever will poop those solid things called feces.

Considering the species, it is likely caused by an intestinal parasite. You should take the snake to a veterinarian who deals with or specializes in reptiles. Check with a reputable pet store that keeps reptiles and ask who they use. Any reputable reptile dealer has a regular reptile vet.

maybe your ball python is actually peeing. You see the liquid and assume its poop because of its color. Smell it! Taste it! What does it seem like now?
