    Help!whats worng??

    Everytime i clean my bp's tank i find these lil white kinda popcorn looking things with alittle yellow. I thought that was just from the aspen or somthing.
    I kept ignoring it a few times. But yesturday i found one in his hide..and thought maybe he pooped it out. What is it?? is it Bad? Also..i was on a differnt forum on myspace about bp's and everybody seemed to feed their snake alot more then i did. Like this one person fed her 4month old male..2 rat pups a week. I donno how old my snake is but ive had him for almost 2 months..so hes probably older then that.Hes about 1'6" maybe almost 2feet and ive been only feeding him 1 white mouse a week.My bp hasn't shed yet either!!!!!

    Sounds like Urates. Its a nother form of waste produced by your snakes kidneys As far as feeding..every 7 days is a good rule of thumb. and a ball that big should be able to handle two mice a week.

    hope this helps

    Ed beat me to it. Snake urine comes in both a solid and liquid form, and is completely normal.

    As for feeding, I try and gauge it by the snakes girth. One prey item slightly less than the girth once a week. It's worked great for me.

    Cause when push comes to shove you taste what you're made of
    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off

    I think ill try feeding him 2 mice a week..cuz he seems to be really
    hungry around dinner time.
    As for shedding is it alright if he hasn't shed yet?

    It varies quite a bit. It can happen in 2 weeks - 3 months, depending on the individual.
