what is that yellow and white stuff that comes out when the snakes poop?
My red tail did it and I saw it in a different post too.

They are urates, a snake's form of urine.

Our snake deposited some urate the other day with no poop but from what I've read on here that's pretty normal too.

Update on that. Our snake pooped last night, just poop no more urates. So I guess it works either together or seperate (chime in here snake experts lol).

It's normal. :)
I am pretty sure that the reason snakes urinate like that, is to conserve water. They do not waste as much water this way.
