So my redtail girl has passed urates once in the past month and pooped none. This didn't bother me as she's been holding on to it longer as of late. This morning I found this in the cage. The things that were bothering me were this: The one urate with the yellowish crystal like things all over it didn't seem right. The completely yellow one was hard as a rock which I haven't seen before. And lastly the mostly yellow one at the bottom appears to actually be white but just covered in little yellow bumps.

I know there can be a bit of variation in how urates look, but I haven't seen anything like this before. I'm figuring the brown is just a little poo that came out with them. However I am concerned that it could be somehow parasite related.


She's been acting perfectly fine I so figured I would ask you all before panicking and taking her to the vet. Thanks for any thoughts you have.



I should also mention, she's a red tail boa in an AP T8. Hotspot is 89, ambient 79 and humidity 60%
