i found this in my snakes enclosure, it looks like poo but i dont know.

he pooped two times since his last pinky, and i fed him again last night, he went mad last night, and really constricted up into a ball and eat his pinky. does ne one know what this could be a day after he eat a pinky? sorry for the bad picture.

it looks like excess bones from poop? but i dunno why it took so long to get it out. its white and dry and looks pretty brittle.

It's pee. It dries up.

[marisa]

Yes it dries up. Like a rock almost.

oh thank god, i was worried sick. usually he pees when he poops.

not to worry :)
it is just normal urate

ya its a urate. I don't know for sure but I'm assuming that a snakes process thier urine different than us. I think that that lump of stuff is uric acid and salts that are disolved in our urine. I'm assuming it an evloution thing that allowes them to retain more fluids to prevent dehydration in drytimes. who knows I'm just guessing.

I think you're right, Derrick. I think i've read that somewhere too.

Yup. It dries up like cement! Ceriously, my blood pooped in a bath and it was sitting in warm water for like 20mins and it was still hard like a rock. Anyways dont worry bout it.
