So I woke up this morning and saw this wierd white stuff near my boss log, I'm not sure what it is or what to think of it, I've attached a pic to show you guys, I'll be removing it from the cage to be safe

Hard to make out the specific thing you are referring to. Can you do another pic with additional lighting? Picture is very dark.

If held to the side it looks like it may be urate

It is the more solid form of snake pee. My male BP likes to urate in a corner, then shove it into the crack so it's all nice and smooth a b*** to clean lol.

I've seen 3 distinct types of snake waste. White urates, sometimes left separately other times with poop. Solid poop, apparently whatever part of the prey didn't get completely absorbed after digestion, usually very dark brown or even black. Then there are the occasional things I call fur turds, that seem to be mostly hair or fur from the mouse or rat.

You've got yourself a nice pile of urates, yup.
