    Urination

    Ok so the past 3 days I have opened up my snakes home and there has been urine all through out with a few small urates he has refused food for the first time since we have had him any ideas on what could be wrong or if we should be concerned? Worried about our boy and no exotic vets anywhere close.

    sounds like just basic metabolism if you have only had him for a few days. Most specimens fed weekly will defecate (including urine) about ever 9 days...as long as your husbandry is decent you should not have a problem.

    Then no worries, it's good to see that he is hydrated. You'll likely see his bowels slow down in the next day or two...then just wait until the end of the week to offer prey again.
