    Is this normal for BP urine?
    This is my first BP, so I'm not entirely sure what their urine is supposed to look like.

    That green and white chunk was surrounded by a lot of yellowish liquid that smelled awful. My ball excreted this in her hide box, so I was able to dump it all out in a cardboard box for better viewing.
    Is that normal?
    I apologize if there are multiple questions on this, as I'm sure there are.

    White hard chalky stuff are called Urates. They are completely normal in reptiles and birds.
    The green coloration isn't exactly normal, but it's probably mixed in with some fecal matter so I wouldn't worry about it.
    And their liquid urine ("yellowish liquid") is highly concentrated, which is why it smells horrible.

    Thanks!
    You guys are so helpful!
    And because I don't want to take up another thread, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is off:

    I noticed the tip of her bottom lip was a little darker today. It's hard to see in the picture because of the flash (and I totally didn't mean to flash my snake. I didn't check my camera's setting before hand). It's the slightly dark area at the tip of her mouth. It's slightly pink greyish?
    She's acting just fine, still slithering around doing her thing, and she's got normal tongue flicks.
    She does like to explore her cage a lot, so maybe it's a little raw from constant rubbing?

    I can't tell from that picture, but most BP's have some coloration on their lips.
