Yellowish Liquid

Today I found a yellowish liquid under my turf in the same vicinity as the hard white stuff. I presume that it's pee? If not what is it?

That's pee, alright :) No worries. Sometimes they do solid, sometimes they do liquid and sometimes they do a bit of both

Sometimes this happens. You usually want solid white urine, but sometimes it is yellow. Since it is under your turf I'm guessing it is runny, so give your snake a nice fresh bowl of water, because he could get dehydrated from this.

Aside from being maybe a little dehydrated, your BP should be perfectly fine.

Okay, thanks for the advice.

i havent seen any yellow liquid yet but then again i'm using mulch and newspaper so if my girl does it on the mulch it'll just look like a wet spot. i have, however gotten a solid white turd-lookin' thing, which i was told later was a solid urate, ew.

To the best of my knowlage this is backwards? I could be wrong but... If you get solid uranates with out liquid it is a sign of dehydration so extra liquid is a good sign. Ball pythons do live in Africa and have a very efficiant metabolism.

LeviBP where did you get this from do you have a reference? I'd be interested in reading that.
