But I think we have a pretty good idea of why your snake isn't eating very well.

Quite a lot is wrong or needs tweaking with the husbandry you just described. :(

Have a read of the caresheet.

Sorry to say. Esspecially if you have been doing what your doing for a long time.. Which it sounds like u have. But id focus number 1 on getting that snake to eat.. Keeping live rats or mice or asfs on hand might be what u need to do so that u can try continually.. Not just every 3-4 months

Im sorry to rag on you and this is more of a question anyways to the more knowledgeable of the bunch.. But if shes not eating.. What is she pooping?? Is it possible thoae neighbor kids r feeding her? Do u supervise any intereactions?

Again sorry for beating u up on this.. It just does not make any sense to me why she would eat like that and be so normal and healthy. For instance my female bp eats between 3-5 mice per week. And technically im under feeding her.. Pushing 8 when i can some weeks because thas whats she needs to get her 10% body weight per meal

She is pooping White balls. and to answer your question It is ONLY supervised outside intereations with the neighborhood kids.. I/e They only pet her she does not leave my sight, usally wrapped around my neck or arm only. Do you live in houston? perhaps a meet and greet?? help me figure this out? I moved here from Oklahoma City 3 yrs ago and cant find anyone local who is knowlable about BP's. Drop me a PM if you are and send me an e-mail addy or phone # and lets chat.

It's the snakes urine. It tends to be white balls. But can also contain liquid.

It is what a snake passes unstead of urinating as other animals do. So in layman's terms...snake pee :)

More accurately, it's hardened uric acid. They do in fact also urinate, expel urates and have normal excrement.
