    is my baby sick
    I have a baby ball I got from Ben Seigel and he's been doing great very friendly and eats great. Last week my feeder source didn't have rats and so I fed iggy two mice and he gobbled them up. Today I came home to find.he had pooped, but it looked nasty it was brown and messy my big balls poop is normally dry looking and whitish. Could he have.diarrea?

    I personally don't think so, I thinks it's all good. Could be wrong though.

    Dry and whitish substances are urates.
    What you got this time was poop :p

    urates are white chalky rocks and poop is well the same as human poop...

    In this picture you can see poop, urates, and liquid pee.

    Urates are getting rid of urea like when we pee. Poop is poop!

    Do you have any other ball pythons or snakes?

    That picture looks like what I saw so its normal. I think it just dried up before I saw it before.my son does the cleaning moat of the time.
