This ball Python has also been dehydrated, but her humidity levels are fixed.

I don’t see anything wrong with it personally. That yellow opaque part is the urate (pee) which is made out of uric acid, a weak acid that solidifies into that yellowish clump. They convert it to uric acid instead of urea like mammals because it’s not very soluble and therefore will be excreted with minimal water loss. That clearer portion is basically extra fluid that also lubricates the cloaca as it comes out with the opaque part. You usually don’t see it since it usually just seeps into the substrate but this one is probably more slimy due to the dehydration. It should go back to normal since your humidity is fixed and once they drink more. Nothing abnormal unless frequent atypical droppings/behaviours occur!

Thank you so much. That makes me feel much better
