    Poop

    Last time I had a BP when he pooped it was white and extremely hard. I was told that it was white because the only thing the snake could not process was the bones of the animal it had eaten. I have two now and they are pooping brown and soft with little or no white in the stools. Does that mean they are not processing enough of the their food or I am not feeding them enough?

    Not sure where you heard that from. The white "poop" looking substance are urates, and it's a solid urine...totally normal you'll see it all the time.

    The white hard stuff is urates, your snakes will expel this along with urine, perfectly normal. Your snake does digest the bones of it's prey.

    Snakes defecated 3 type of waste... Liquid urine... Solid urine ( and that was the white stuff u seen) and regular brown fecal matter...

    They dont always produce solid urine... most of the time yes but if you dont gonna see if for a while is not a big concern... If they eat/hide and your temps and humidity is within right range you have nothing to worry about

    thanks all for your answers. I feel better. My male ate on Tuesday and had a movement sometime last night. I fed my female yesterday afternoon and last time took her almost two weeks to go.
