Quite a lot is wrong or needs tweaking with the husbandry you just described.
Have a read of the caresheet.

Sorry to say. Esspecially if you have been doing what your doing for a long time.. Which it sounds like u have. But id focus number 1 on getting that snake to eat.. Keeping live rats or mice or asfs on hand might be what u need to do so that u can try continually.. Not just every 3-4 months

Again sorry for beating u up on this.. It just does not make any sense to me why she would eat like that and be so normal and healthy. For instance my female bp eats between 3-5 mice per week. And technically im under feeding her.. Pushing 8 when i can some weeks because thas whats she needs to get her 10% body weight per meal

She is pooping White balls. and to answer your question It is ONLY supervised outside intereations with the neighborhood kids.. I/e They only pet her she does not leave my sight, usally wrapped around my neck or arm only. Do you live in houston? perhaps a meet and greet?? help me figure this out? I moved here from Oklahoma City 3 yrs ago and cant find anyone local who is knowlable about BP's. Drop me a PM if you are and send me an e-mail addy or phone # and lets chat.

It is what a snake passes unstead of urinating as other animals do. So in layman's terms...snake pee

More accurately, it's hardened uric acid. They do in fact also urinate, expel urates and have normal excrement.
