Yeah that doesnt look good. However it could be from something as simple as dehydration. Dont hold me on it but I think I read somewhere it can be mushy if the animals is dehydrated. Try giving him a soak in the tub, he will get a drink and it will get what ever else is in him out.

i will get him to the vet and i will try soaking him. the other day i saw him drinking, he was like a dog on a hot summer day that just came inside, was drinking non stop forever, it was atleast 5 minutes if not longer.
is it possible the mice were bad and for some reason they came out a mushy paste like that? i feed him FT and i noticed they smell weird but not like there bad, just when i dethaw them they smell like a wet animal, they look ok.

Mice do smell like that, yes... I don't think that's the problem. Bad mice would more likely be a regurge, not runny poop. He's probably just dehydrating, especially if it was that hot. However, being paranoid is NOT a bad thing... vets can tell you more than we can.

Sometimes snakes have runny stools because they have some sort of parasites in them, i would advise that you get a fecal done asap!
Thanks,
Ben

Well unless you have a microscope and the necessary equipment to perform a fecal flotation, you cannot find out for certain until you take him to the vet (unless he's so infested he has caterpillars crawling around in his poop  ). Anytime a snake has a worrysome poop it should be bagged and refrigerated and brough to the vet asap. Although it is best to have a fecal, if it cannot wait or your snake simply won't give one, a cloacal wash can be performed.
