Runny Poo- help!

We noticed today Salvador has done a poo in the night, which we expected since we fed him on Monday (it's now Friday). Looked in his viv though and it smells pretty bad, and is quite runny. (The smell reminds me of when I used to have hamsters and they peed in the sawdust, if that helps.) We'd put him on kitchen towel because we weren't sure when he was pooing and only found it when we took him out to feed as he'd usually buried it. I'm attaching pics of the poo. It seems to be quite wet for about an inch, maybe an inch and a half, around it and although you can't see on the pics the wetness is very slightly yellow. We took a closer pic too. On the further away pic the ring on the paper towel is from the water bowl- as you can see it's about 6cm/ 2 inches away from the wet area so we don't think it could just be a splash from drinking or anything as it's quite big. There is also dried whitish-yellow stuff in the poo that you can see. We're taking Salvador to the vet next week to get sexed anyway, but we'd like to know if we need to move the appointment closer. Any help is much appreciated!

Cool, thank you! We read in the comprehensive corn snake guide (love + love) that there would be the yellowness inside, but we were just a bit worried about the wetness around the poo. Is this normal too?
 
Normal! You need to have an adult cornsnake poop on you to fully appreciate how wet it can be!!
 
It's normal looking to me as well. Believe me they are going to poop on you eventually. I've been pooped on by all my corn snakes several times. It's not fun..by any means but it will more then likely happen.
 
He did another poo the next day too about the same size- I take it this is ok, too? I suppose like humans there's always variety :)
