    Blue Urine

    Hi all, I have looked everywhere for an answer, but this seems to have thrown everyone! I have a female ball python, aprox 2 years and 1 month old. I got her in November last year and she's great! This week is the first week she has refused a feed. Her last shed she was too dry and struggled (she was staying with a friend for a few weeks while my electrics were upgraded). She is very much n sluff now, and is not happy. But I have just removed some urine from her tank that was mostly blue (and a little white)! Has anyone got any idea why?

    What kind of substrate are you using? Blue doesn't sound normal, but if you're using newspaper or something with a colored dye, it could be from that.

    well, higher production of bile in the liver can cause the normally white urates to appear a yellowish green, but blue I don't know about.

    I know that. But this was most definitely blue, I mean face book blue! She's not happy, although more lethargic than anything else.

    Hmm.. I don't have any other thoughts or suggestions. It was just the first thing that came to mind. Good luck and hopefully someone can come up with some sort of explanation...

    I would switch her to paper towels just so you can see the waste a little better.

    That is really odd. I don't know what could cause it to be blue.

    Re: Blue Urine

    I am inclined not to disturb her too much, as she is seriously not happy and within the next day will shed. After that I'll take her for a check up. Thanks anyway!
