    BP Pee/Urate Frequency?

    I got my (adult) ball python last Friday and she has shed perfectly and eaten for me since then.

    Except for yesterday, she has peed/urated every day since Tuesday, including today. Is this a normal frequency or should I be concerned and consider taking her to the vet? I was thinking about waiting a couple weeks to see if things changed or if this was normal for her, but I just wanted to get everyone's opinion.

    Thanks in advance for your help!

    It means she's drinking a lot of water.

    ^ Which can be bad. Mine does it every so often but probably not even once a week. BUMP for more experienced people

    Does the urate looks weird or anything? If it looks normal, I probably wouldn't worry about it. At least you know she's not plugged up. Now you just got to wait for that nice tootsie roll present and all will be good. Food going in one end and poop coming out the other end equals all is good.

    Her urates looked normal.

    Here is the "amount" if that helps:
    Tuesday - big urates with a lot of urine
    Wednesday - small urates with a tiny bit of urine
    Thursday - small urates with a good amount of urine (a lot more than Wednesday but not as much as Tuesday and Saturday)
    Saturday - small urates with a lot of urine.

    And she hasn't pooped yet....

    Any updates? This post was from April, and it dead ends like the other "lots of urine" posts....

    What happened ? How did the issue turn out?
