Help!whats worng??
Everytime i clean my bp's tank i find these lil white kinda popcorn looking things with alittle yellow. I thought that was just from the aspen or somthing.
I kept ignoring it a few times. But yesturday i found one in his hide..and thought maybe he pooped it out. What is it?? is it Bad? Also..i was on a differnt forum on myspace about bp's and everybody seemed to feed their snake alot more then i did. Like this one person fed her 4month old male..2 rat pups a week. I donno how old my snake is but ive had him for almost 2 months..so hes probably older then that.Hes about 1'6" maybe almost 2feet and ive been only feeding him 1 white mouse a week.My bp hasn't shed yet either!!!!!

Sounds like Urates. Its a nother form of waste produced by your snakes kidneys As far as feeding..every 7 days is a good rule of thumb. and a ball that big should be able to handle two mice a week.
hope this helps

Ed beat me to it. Snake urine comes in both a solid and liquid form, and is completely normal.
As for feeding, I try and gauge it by the snakes girth. One prey item slightly less than the girth once a week. It's worked great for me.

It varies quite a bit. It can happen in 2 weeks - 3 months, depending on the individual.
