    Snake Poo
    Silly question, but what does BP Snake Poo look like? I have cornsnakes, recently acquired a BP about 6 weeks ago and have yet to find anything that resembles poo. What I have found though are little white balls in the cage, almost as round as a dime and when rubbed in between my fingers, it looks like salt and breaks apart easily. My corns are like clockwork, 2 days after they've eaten, I find a nice pile for me and I know BP's can go weeks without doing it, but what exactly does it look like? Brown with urates in there or....????

    The white round balls are urates. BP Poo looks like... Poo. :) It looks kinda like cat poo, or if your BP is old enough, it looks like medium sized dog poo. And smells very much like poo! :)

    It looks just like you'd expect it to. Sometimes it will have urates mixed in, and sometimes not. What you're describing as the white chalky "salty" stuff is urates.


    Don't worry about it, you're BP will go when its ready. :)
