    Question Questions on Color of Urates?

    I know this might seem like a dumb question...but Are urates supposed to be yellow? Read somewhere that they are white....or do they vary in color?

    Here's a pic.....

    looks like a normal little squirt...

    For "bad" feces, which is usually a symptom of another problem, feces that are runny or extremely smelly (there's no mistaking the smell between healthy feces and unhealthy feces, could indicate an internal parasite. Its rare, though, in CBB animals, and more often seen in wild caught snakes. (per The Complete Ball Python, KM)

    Looks normal to me. I've seen all sorts of different colors from bright white, to off-white to yellow to green.

    Yup, completely normal looking to me. Some are white, some are yellow, some are green. I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen a purple one yet.

    The urates are white, but the urine makes em yellow. they are white if they urinate next to them, but if they go on them they are yeller.
