    Locating urine

    I use aspen bedding in my python's tank. I know that immediately the suggestions will probably come in to use newspaper, but before I really consider making this switch, what do I look for when I am searching for areas where my BP has urinated? I spot clean the tank daily, but I'm having some trouble locating where he's urinating. Are there telltale colors of the aspen or smell?

    I know he has to be going, but I don't know where!

    Look for the solid white/yellow urates.

    lol newspaper...........................

    well if u catch it early u can feel it being wet...(i use latex gloves) another thing you can do is it kinda a dark yellow color on aspen and is usually located with the urates!! so check those areas but i would highly highly highly recommend newspaper u catch it all!!!

    thank you! I thought that I would be looking for something solid- I have seen these- I was just worried about a liquid urine that might be in there that he would be slithering over

    There is liquid too, but it's usually right under the solid. My bp produces about a handful of pee pee, and I'm using Repti bark.
