Clear, thich liquid in terrarium...?

My snake ate 2 days ago, and has not defecated as far as I can tell. However, I recently noticed a few drops of a clear, semi-thick liquid (thicker than water) in his cage and it has no odour, and no colour or milkyness. I do not know what this is or where this came from, and there is no feces accompanying it.

My snake does not seem to have breathing problems or an open mouth/discharge.

Anyone know what this is?
 
Was it on the sides of the cage? I know they will kind of vomit up some thick clear liquid when terribly stressed but other than that... I dunno. Hope someone else can step in and help out.
 
It's the urates part of the poop. If you'd found it later, it would have dried off and gone white and powdery. Two days isn't long after eating - expect solid poop any time in the next week. Their digestive systems don't always work in the same way and at the same speed.
 
Yep, sometimes they can be dribblers and let it out a squirt at a time! I have a couple like that. Bit of a pain for cleaning as it can be liberally spread throughout the tank, instead of just deposited in one place.
