    No urates
    So I have had my baby ball for about 3 weeks now he has had 4 meals with me (a hopper mouse every 5 days). well I know its normal he hasnt pooped yet because hes absorbing the nutrients to grow but I havent even seen urates. Is this at all normal.

    Hes almost 3 months old about 120g. Hes in a 24q tub that is very cluttered with leaves and paper balls. His hot side us 87 with a uth ob a thermostat and cool side is 79'
    He has 3 hides, he uses none of them he is usually always under the paper towel and he has a water bowl.

    I would bump up his hot side a few degrees I like mine at 90

    Most of my snakes release urates at the same time they poop. While this isn't always the case it's a pattern that I have noticed with mine.

    I wouldn't be worried yet.

    I have had my girl here for going on 2 months and she has only passed urates two times. They have a VASTLY different metabolism then humans so it is going to take a while. They will come.

    Don't worry it'll happen at some point he just doesn't want to give you the piece of mind is all.
