    What the heck is this??
    So I fed Pandora early Monday morning (2/3 AM) and the last 2 days she's looked like she's about to poop, so I was expecting it any day now. Last time (first time around me) she pooped, she did it in her hide and got out of there (I'm guessing the smell bothered her). Anyway, lately she's been switching a lot between her warm and cold hide. She didn't do that until recently but her temps have always been the same. She switched hides rather frequently at one point and I figured she must have pooped in her hide again. I overturn it and I find this weird looking thing (see pic below) and the substrate around it is all wet; so she also made a tinkle. I replaced all the substrate in that area. But now I have to know if this is normal looking or not. I know they make calcium deposits which are white poos but I don't know whether or not this is it.

    Should of gotten an Iphone! can't really tell by the pix, but it doesn't seen like a problem to me. Keep an eye on her stools and if they become watery or nasty smelling get a Vet visit!

    Me + touch phones = no can do.
    After owning the HTC touch, I refuse to own a touch phone ever again.
    Pain in the bum to text and type.

    BPs can excrete urates anywhere from pure white to bright yellow and various shades in between. They seem mostly white usually, but when they are still wet, and covered in yellow urine they will be more yellow obviously. Shouldn't be anything to worry about.

    Okay, good
    I thought I should be worried.
    I have yet to differentiate between what's good and bad snake poop.
    I know that would be bad if it were my cat's or dog's.
    lol
