The white jelly-like material just above and to the left of centre are definitely sperm plugs I would say. The remaining mass of white looks like very watery urates. You expect a certain amount of moisture but not that amount. I am not sure what would cause that or how serious it might be. I would wonder if you have given it something different to eat. Somebody who has experienced it may yet be able to shed some light as to what is happening, otherwise I would take the advice given and ask the vet. Sorry I cannot be more help.

Another "poo anxiety" thread :)! The mass looks well formed and easily passed, and the whitish stuff could be anything - but it has clearly come from the digestive tract, not an add-on as it passed out of the snake's body. It's probaby mucus, a normal addition to faecal matter, and I would say there is nothing to concern you at all with this animal. A vet visit will be a waste of money if the snake is behaving normally and going about it's daily business as it usually does.

Iv never had any problem with the snake, and he still acts the same way he has his whole life, I'll see how the poo is next week to decide if I take him to the vet, what about sperm plugs? The snake is unsexed.
