    He could just like making your life miserable. Lol

    Joking aside, how long has this been going on and how do the urates look? I wouldnt worry too much if the urates are the normal white chalky stuff with bits of yellow and sometimes green.

    I've noticed the same thing with my Butter Spider. Its just about every night, but I've been assuming its her way of getting out of the tub for a little while to explore!

    Re: kidney problems?

    Some snakes seem to go more than others. Most of mine go at least a couple times a week with just urates, and feces is passed much less often - usually every couple weeks for adults.

    It's only been 5 days, could be a disruption in the snake's usual cycle, or even scenting. Have you had the snake a total of 5 days? Do you completely clean out the enclosure every time it passes the urates, or replace the substrate?

    Hard to say for sure, but if the snake is otherwise acting normally, I wouldn't worry about it yet.

    kidney problems?

    Could be a number of things.
    Is he off feed?
    Have you been pairing him?
    Does it have a bad odor

    Get a good empty weight on him and see if he feeds.
