fecal sample (need help soon).......please look
i collected this sample from one of my BPs this morning. I have never seen anything like it, so Im a little worried. I am going to take it into the vet for a smear and float, but wanted some opinions in the mean time.
I have never seen a BRIGHT yellow "ball" before, and furthermore, if you look close the yellow ball is covered in smaller yellowish balls....
if anyone has seen anything like this, or know what it may be, please let me know asap
thanks all,

Just looks like urates to me, a fair portion of it being crystallized. I don't see anything unusual in the picture

ok, maybe im just over reacting....it was the little crystal looking yellow dots that worried me....thought It looked a little like eggs :O
other than that, everything is completely normal (behaviour, physical appearance)....think i should bring in the fecal anyways or am i over reacting?
thanks very much for the opinions guys!

Fecals never hurt, might find something, but if I see any reason within that pic that warrants any testing, I would have to say no. Some snakes seem to have a lot of crystals, some don't have any at all. Not sure exactly what causes the crystallization, but it's no cause for concern. Hope this helped

I was just about to eat......that's a big close up.... :medpuke:
Looks normal to me but I'm no expert. I guess testing won't hurt and it will make you feel better anyway.

Go ahead and take it in. It can't hurt. I took one in from my Ball. I didn't suspect anything, it's just peace of mind ya know.
