Snake Urate Question - Is Green Normal?

[AjaMichelle]

Hello,

I was reading dinosaurdammit's thread about her poisoned boa and in it, green urates are correlated with kidney dysfunction.

I lost a female boa two or three months ago to what I believe was kidney failure. She passed urates like that almost daily for a couple of weeks. Never big pees just a lot of them. I asked a couple people up here and they mentioned kidney problems so I asked a three large boid breeders in the states who also mentioned her kidneys were not working properly. Now my girl was severely overweight but the last few days she just stretched out all limp and never had much muscle tone.

My burm has passed green/yellow/white urates since I got him, and they're usually mostly green. He also pees small pees and copious amounts of fluid fairly often, like every few days.

So what is normal? Because I haven't been able to determine what snake pee is supposed to look like, only that none of my other reptiles (lizards and a hognose snake) have colorful urates.

Thanks!
