BP pee

I have my snake on the coconut husk bedding. How can i tell where he has peed? I fed him for the first time on sunday and haven't found any poop yet but have found 2 white pellet like things. Are they the urates? Any help would be great

hi,

yes, the 2 white pellet things are urine. it lasts longer then just a few days until you#ll find "poop" when fed on sunday,...

yeah...bp's have liquid pee and the solid (white/yellow) urates you described. my bp seems to rarely actually pee in the liquid form, but i'm sure it won't be much of a problem if you clean and replace the substrate in your cage reguarly. i've noticed a lot of people on this sight also use papertowls for bedding (it's cheaper and easier to clean). Just a thought...

I use aspen and have found I have to turn over the bedding every day when I take my snake out or I may miss poop or urates. I havnt found urates yet but have found poop. my snake burrows around and this can cover up the poop and urates when you use loose "burrowable" bedding.

I am going to switch to newspaper I think...

My guys pee a LOT. They soak the tub every single time they BM. I've wondered if maybe they're spilling water but I don't think so because they have heavy ceramic dishes.

so how long after they eat should i expect poop

I find urates about 2 days after feeding and poop about 3 days, but I have read other threads where the evacuation process is not as regular and nothing to be alarmed over.
