    white chalky residue :S
    Got a quick question for you guys -

    I was checking on my pythons today and I noticed one of them had a white chalky substance all over their head. Now she passed a solid urinate sometime over the last 24 hours and she ate 3 adult ASF's two days ago. Is it possible that its just residue from the urinate that somehow got transferred to her head?? :S.

    I took her out to get a better look at it and when I put her back she slithered through her water and submerged the affected area. I checked back in on her after she was dry and the chalky substance is reduced but its still there :\.

    I'm just worried that it could be the beginnings of something more serious.

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris.

    Yeah, its probably pee. Our balls get that sometimes. Its no big deal.

    Unless its mite feces, although I'm sure you would be well aware of it being a mite infestation.

    Thanks guys!

    No mites - thank god. I figured she was just gross and cuddled with her pee pellets.

    Cheers!
