White poop?
Hi all! I have a male bp about 8 months old now. He’s eating small rats every 8 days. I’ve noticed something odd about his poops he used to poop brown and white every week or so but the past two months he poops every 2 weeks and it’s all white. His belly does seem a little bit bigger than normal as well. Is all white poop and no brown something to be worried about or am I freaking myself out?

It's probably urate. That's a solid, mostly white, waste product that usually comes out with urine and as a way of snakes getting rid of non-food waste.
It often accompanies poop, but can also come out without it.

It's urate which is a by product of urine.

Re: White poop?
Should I be worried that he’s not pooping then? It’s just urate he hasn’t pooped since feb 15

There is no schedule for defecation some goes every weeks some every 4 to 8 weeks, it depends on the age of the animal itself, how often it is fed and are frequently, so long you are feeding your animal appropriately and there is not persistent bulge near the cloaca you are fine.
