    urination

    has anyone had their ball python urinate while they were handling them, mine just did and it dropped two huge white balls, a couple little orange specks and then come this huge stream. I went to put him up and he seemed fine and didnt really want to go back in his cage. Is this normal?

    Completely normal! He will do it again too! The white balls are called urinates and they are like dried up pee. They are completely normal too!

    Re: urination

    Welcome to love!!! lol

    Whenever I first take them out I put them on a blanket and some towels....after a while they will typically at least pee and have a urate. After that you MIGHT be safe....unless they have to poo....lol

    Re: urination

    At least when they poop on you it's easier to clean up... most of the time. That's why keep towels on my lap or on the floor when handling. Oh, and always keep a bottle of carpet cleaner handy...

    Re: urination

    Sounds like a really silly question but does that mean he is comfortable with me handling him or can it be something that he does if he is skidish?

    Re: urination

    I've found it's worth taking a few seconds to check their back ends for bulging before handling them... I try to only take them out when they DON'T look like they're ready to explode down my shirt. ESPECIALLY when I'm bringing them out for other people to admire!
