    Excessive urination?

    Ok so this might sound dumb/weird but my new male Mojave urinates waaaaayyy too much, to the point where i'm starting to think that it's abnormal. He isn't stressed because he eats like a pig and never strikes at me and his tub is at 40% humidity (when he doesn't pee everywhere!) & his temperatures are fine. None of my other snakes that are in my rack do this.

    What do you mean when you say excessive urination? Frequency? Amount? It could just be from an abundant water supply, he just drinks too much for his own good. Unless there is anything abnormal looking I wouldn't be too worried. You'd be surprised how much liquid they can expel when urinating.

    I would say it's excessive in amount but in frequency it is, i have his water about half way so i really don't know. I had to change him to repti bark because he needs a whole roll of Bounty for himself lol

    My Enchi girl just soaked her entire newspaper in a 15 qt tub yesterday. First for me, but I guess it happens.

    It is excessive because "it looks" like a lot? Or is it in comparison to a number of other similarly sized Ball pythons?

    Sometimes a newly dirtied cage will look like a sewer. Especially if they manage to dump the water bowl in the process. Ugh.
