Green Urates

I know that the presents of green colouring in urates is said to be excessive amounts of bile but I was wondering how often is it normal to have these green urates. One of my ball pythons in particular seems to have some sort of trace of green in just about poop he has and was wondering if this was normal?

After searching around the forum I found out the green urates might also be a sign of kidney failure, this got me really worried. I took a photo of one of his latest poops keep in mind the poop seems sort of smeared over the newspaper because I had thrown it out but then realized that I should get the picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dehydration most likely hows your humidity and is he eating? I have 2 balls my self and my oldist did have this issue when he was young. My vet told me it was dehydartion i need to change sub stright and mist my cage more have a bigger water bowl for him to soak in. Great things about balls are is they are sick they snap back fast that was 6 years ago when my guy was sick and hes still here with me

My humidity is usually in the 40-60 range and he is eating great every week. I'll try increasing the humidity a bit and see if it helps, thanks.

I thought balls were supposed to be at 50-70% no? I don't know if a 10% difference is really that big.

Well if that is your humidity thats not the issue that was for me might be something different for you.
