Is this something to be concerned about?

i'm sorry, i can't help you with this one. but i figured i'd let you know that you're not being ignored... and i figured a bump up wouldn't hurt!

Hi,


A little backinfo might help.

What is the recent diet info and are there any other symptoms that you think are out of the ordinary?

Is this the first time you've seen this and how long have you had your snake?

I think it's probably nothing to worry about but the extra info might help someone with more knowledge get a better idea of what's going on.

I've had her for a year now. She eats perfectly. Her diet consists of 1 weaned rat per week. This is the first time I have seen this in any of my bp's tubs.

While I doubt this is the issue, Im just wondering, could the snake have gone on something that could have bled (such as color from a newspaper or paper towel?)

It happens from time to time. I see it in mine occasionally. I have heard that green urates can be a sign of illness. I think its kind of like yawning. Yawning is a sign of an RI, but just because your snake yawns doesn't mean it has an RI.

Watch for any other signs that your snake isn't healthy and make sure he has plenty of fresh water.

Will do steve. I'm gonna probly take all my snakes in to the vet for a yearly check up soon anyways.

Man I can't believe I have been a part of this forum for a year now. Time flys

Interesting, I've seen slightly blueish green urates before, and I figured I was overdoing it on the Virosan cleaner. So I cut back the strength of what I was using when it comes to cleaning out water bowls.
