I doubt very much that it is a problem. Im no expert but I cant see anything that urine could do to hurt your BP.

The mouse peed on your snake? I take it you're feeding live then? Well, switch to prekilled or frozen thawed and you won't have to worry about mousey pee, or bites, irritating your bp. ;)

the urine wouldnt effect the snake in any manner that i know of
but if you think it might possibly be causing some sort of problem, give him a bath

the way i prekill a mouse or rat is to grab ahold of their tail and put them on a hard surface and take a ruler or other object. then i put the ruler behind their neck. then i press down on the ruler and pull up on their tail untill i hear a cruch or popping sound from their neck breaking.

or you can stick them in a bag and hit them against a hard surface but i could never kill them that way. i guess that i wasnt hitting them hard enough.

You can also use CO2 to suffocate them. You can use dry ice, or there is a sticky in the Feeders forum on how to build a gas chamber.
There is also a sticky in the same forum on how to kill mice humanely.

I was going to build the gas chamber but it was going to be a big PITA to get the CO2 refilled.

It kills them..........if done correctly
I never liked actually touching the mice (back when i was feeding mice) personally mice creep me out (if they arent dead, wierd huh ?) and scare me, so of course i didnt like having to touch them so ........I didnt ! i just put them from the carry home container and put them striaght from there into a bag and gave it one good hard whack and it was DEAD, tossed it in to roxy girl and she let her do her thing with it
