kidney problems?

[snake_ghost]

as it says above my bp just takes a leak everyday with little bits of urate is that normal for them and he's just under a year old

[poison123]

Dosn't sound normal to me.

[Lankyrob]

Pics of the urates would help :)

[snake_ghost]

they just look like normal but in small stone like way :hmm:

[stephanbakir]

I've seen what hes talking about once in my retics, but I didn't think it was a big deal so I didn't bother looking it up.
The druid urate "pellet" was moist when it was dropped and dried quickly and ended up looking like a pile of crumbs.

Again, I don't know what it means, I'm simply describing what I believe you to be referring to so others can help.

[snake_ghost]

cheers for that ;) your retic alright then?

My one year old tiger retic urinates about every two days.. he's always swimming and drinking inside his water tub though.. should I be worried o.o?

[mykee]

That's THE telltale sign of kidney issues.

[Theweinz]

My Madu Retic drinks a lot of water and seems to go every two days as well. The last year this seems to be slowing down- maybe every three days now. I always try to keep the water fresh and he does like it!

A burm or retic is not a ball python.

Every non SD retic I have ever owned has been a pee machine, they drink a TON and pee a ton, that part is completely normal.

Yup. Apples to oranges.
If you think it's a kidney issue but arrent sure, go to a vet.
Or
Treat at home as if your snake has a kidney issue other than medicines. Thats a vet item imho.
So
I think a vet visit is in order :(

[snake_ghost]

i had a bad experience with the vets :( what else would you say because someone told me it's normal he's just well hydrated and there's all way's a big puddle of urine there as well

Another vet.

[snake_ghost]

it's not the vet its what happened at the vets

[Aaron_S]

Well you should still go see one.

Suck it up buttercup. Your animals health may be in jeopardy.

[snake_ghost]

trust me i would if could it just go's to deep that's why i was asking you lot to see if you can give an answer

[Aaron_S]

We gave the best we could with ball pythons.

Vet is our answer.

[Lankyrob]

Get someone else to take it for you?

It's your responsibility to take it to the vet.. the animal can't do it on its own... either give him to someone who can or put your past aside and go in there and get it done...
I have to drive 5+ hours to get to my vet because my local vets don't deal with venomous or anything over 10 feet... you do what you need to but you get it done... If you can't... maybe you should take up a pet like

It's harsh... but hopefully its an eye opener.

xD It is harsh, but I have to agree here.
The exotic vet in my area is an absolute douche. I am not the only one that thinks that way either (you should read his reviews)- yet when I have a problem with my snake/s (as much as I hate to do it) I take them in.
Yes there are so issues that can be treated with home remedies if you do them properly, but the issue which you are describing defiantly sounds like vet territory.

[Aaron_S]

Hopefully you can find another one that's better not too far away.

The only other exotic close to me is two hours away. Other than his personality, there is nothing wrong with the man. He is a very good exotic vet, he knows his stuff.. Probably the only reason he is still around.

Hopefully you can find another one that's better not too far away. .. If you were referring to me.

[snake_ghost]

right then sorry for the late reply's my laptops been down any way cut a long story short my royals all good just well hydrated and that's bang out of order on what you lot where saying that a PET ROCK would be good for me first off you know NOTHING about me

[Aaron_S]

Well hydrated? How is that determined?

Apparently your snake exhibits symptoms that all of our snakes (dozens upon dozens) don't do and it's just "well hydrated"?
