Urine?

T.O-SK8TER · 09-10-03, 08:02 PM

My snakes urine was really dark today and there was no urates, it is usually yellow but today it was much darker, almost brown. His water bowl is kind of to deep for him so I put in a shallower one so that it would be easier for him to drink from, the urine looked the same as mine when I have a hangover, LOL. Is this just dehydration?

Mine seem to do that sometimes. Usually during digestion of a pretty hefty meal. It's not anything to worry about. I'm sure you keep plenty of water available. My bigger animals seem to do it more often than the smaller animals.

Hell my burm is only 4 feet and the water bowl is like 5 times too big for him, haha. Thanx for letting me know yours do the same, it gives me more comfort not thinking he is sick!
