    Brownish Liquid?



    That's from a baby ball python that's about 6 months old.

    Usually when my baby balls mess up their paper towels it's much more of a yellow color than a brown. Is this normal/okay?

    She appears completely healthy otherwise, though she's a bit of a finicky eater. She'll often drop the mouse 3 or 4 times before finally taking it and swallowing it (eating frozen/thawed). Other than that she eats every 5-7 days and has never refused food.

    It's quite dry, LOL. And frankly I've had worse on my carpets.

    oh me too - my cats seem to fancy eating shoelaces, and the shoe laces fight back. I have no idea where they keep finding shoelaces.. I don't keep an abundance of them around

    Ive noticed when they pee over the hot spot directly over the flexwatt or UTH. It will discolor the paper as it heats up. I think its some kind of reaction to the heat.

    This only happens if i catch it late and its already dry, nothing abnormal about it

    Great, thanks! Yeah, she is peeing over the hot spot. I almost always catch it the same day it happens, but it's also usually dry by the time I find it.

    Since she is doing great otherwise I wasn't too worried, but glad to know others have experienced this.

    I have seen a dark pee (liquid not uranates) before in a snake bag. I was a bit worried so ordered a full work up fecal and blood and it came up clean (I was concerned about blood in digestive tract.) nope just dark snake pee.
