    weird green stuff in snake tank?

    hey, so my snake is healthy and the tank is good, but yesterday i woke up and found just a little bit (about a teaspoon) of a weird green "blob" with white parts in it, like white granuals sortof... i have a fake wooden piece for the snake to hide in and another hide, my substrate is reptibark. and a water dish and a smooth rock. for now that is all that is in the tank so i dont think it is from anything but the snake. if usefull i can take a picture of it when i get home this evening. i am not way too worried about it because my snake is displaying healthy behavior. he expelled his waste a few days ago which looked completely normal as well. he has also shed recently.
    do you know what this may be? or have your snakes ever put this in your tank?
    thanks in advanced

    More then likely it is a bit of urates (snake pee). It shouldn’t be a problem. Best of luck.

    Yes, just normal urates. Sometimes just off-white, sometimes in technicolor... -mostly harmless but I understand orange is a concern, & red would certainly
    be too. Fairly typical to see a light greenish, yellowish, or blueish tones.
