    Rock solid uriates?
    So had an odd thing happen and wanted to get advice on it as I have never seen this before.

    My chondro was looking a little on the fat side this week and it had been a while since she had passed anything so I decided to forgo feeding her till she went. Yesterday, I discovered she had gone and while removing it from the cage I noticed that the uriates were basically rock hard spheres. I do not recall her having passed these before and I have never come across it in any of my other snakes over the years so I want to see if this is a normal thing chondros sometimes do or if I need to be keeping an eye on her for something. In every other respect she is healthy; great feed response, good colour, normal activity level, alert...

    It is a pretty common occurence in chondros. If it worries you, just give her a good warm soaking and see what happens. A good solid rain usually makes them do their "doodie" as well. Good luck.
