White fluid in cage near hide
When I looked in my ball pythons cage today I noticed a white fluid by his hide. I didn't think anything of it but he hasn't moved at all today and is acting rather strange. I have no idea what it is but I also haven't noticed him drinking. My temp is good for both side but my humidity is a little low. Can someone please tell me what it is and if it is serious or not and also what might be causing it. Thanks.

Would it be possible to post a picture of it?
Are you sure that it isn't just runny urates

It's probably a urate. If so, its totally normal.

Re: White fluid in cage near hide
Thanks guys this is my first snake so I just wasn't sure. Urates is basically a snakes equivalent to urine right? And I didnt know that it was that color or texture.

Their bodies dont wanna use up moisture and dehydrate so the uric acid gets hard and comes out like that. They also pee liquid too sometimes.
