There seems to be a large number of imported Leopards recently available in the UK. I highly recommend that they be treated for protozoa as a precaution. They are most likely either wild caught or farmed. Both should be treated as wild caught.
Most shops use a pelleted diet now days... the fecal matter should not be runny if that is the case. To answer your question... no... it should be firm and well formed. Quote:

If he has not been on a high fibre diet his poo will be runny but I would get a sample tested ASAP in case of any worms/paracites
