    Ok, so I just got my ball python this morning and it's been acting 100% normal in it's new get-up. Anyway, now that he's out of his hide and movin about (it's 12:40am), I see he left me two white blobs in the sustrate. They basically look exactly like two white tic tacs (same shape, size, color). What are these? Cause for alarm?

    Thanks,
    Benn

    Problem?: Found two white balls.....

    Hmmm, these are just solid balls of pure urine, aren't they?

    They are whats known as urates. Some also say its a pure calcium deposit from the bones of the prey, aka "bone sack". I myself am not sure what it is exactly, but I do know that it's not anything to be alarmed over. Perfectly normal.
