Don't worry. The hard white stuff was just urates. Their feces looks like cat poo.  You'll come to know it well.

RPlank, that's a lot of yellow-orange crystalization in those urates. If your snake isn't cycling high levels of reproductive hormones (gravid, horny, etc.) it's not a bad idea finding out why the kidneys aren't filtering out the crystals more effectively.
It could be something as simple as dehydration or as severe as kidney failure.

Thanks for the info, Eyespy. She was sick with a RI, and half starved shortly before she passed those urates. (Got her from a local reptile store that had bought her from a private party.) I was wondering what those were, never seen them before or since. Her urates since have been without the crystals. Thanks again!
