    If it was a male ball python, it could be sperm.LOL. But more than likely it was urates.

    Check your bedding too, depending on what you use it can be kinda hard to notice the little white pebbles. Be sure to clean a good inch or so around the pebbles too, they do excrete liquid with the solids.
