Question about Urates - Please Respond

[RealmIyce]

Amy peed and laid some urates today, they were little white balls, one was crushed into a powdery form..I noticed a slight hint of green in one of them and was wondering if that is normal or if you know why it could be kinda green.

Also, I was wondering what urates exactly are cause I dunno. Please help if you know anything aout it and why it coulda been a little greenish.

Urates eh? Well urates are pretty much the snake version of pee. Snakes expel urates often with a bit of liquid urine. The reason for this is that snakes have an extremely slow metabolism and thus use absolutely every nutrient their food can provide to them thus all possible moisture is used or saved and urine is expelled as a solid. Feces are a more solid indicator of illness. I really don't know what to tell you about the green in that urate as my snakes urates have never broken or powdered. Others will know more than I however.

I wouldn't stress it at all. I've seen yellow in my snakes urates as well, it could be a ton of harmless variables and if your snake is eating well, and pooping and peeing regularly, you've got a healthy little guy trying to psych you out.
