Oh my... O_O

Okay, so I now have two ball pythons. One normal male from Ron, and one normal female from Tim Cranwill. I brought them home both within two days, and they are still in their "quiet week" Everything has been going well, temperatures and all. They didn't eat on Wensday, I will be feeding tomorrow (well technically several hours later today- Saturday) Today I went in my room to get something, and I happened to look over at the rubbermaids- my males rubbermaid is totally fogged up. I was really really shocked at first, and thought he had tipped his water over (which would of taken a good effort) I looked in, and everything appeared normal at first, the humidity was up 20% higher than usual though, and upon closer inspection, one 3 inch square area was soaked! it was opposite from the water bowl, so it couldn't of been from that. When I lifted his hide, there was a tiny bit of poo and the chalky urine, the rest was a pure liquid substance. I've never ever read or heard of this, and I assume it's normal... but if it isn't normal, what exactly is it???

If it is normal, it's pretty funny.... but right now I'm on the verge of being worried, and on the verge of laughing... none of my three ball python books mention this, and as it is 1AM, I'm too lazy to google it. If no one replies by the time I wake up tomorrow/today, I will search some more.

Hey Samantha,

Perfectly normal, nothing to worry about.

That's what I thought ^_^ Thank goodness ^_^

LOL! Well "He's a boy!" haha

What you saw was a urate, by the way you're describing it, there was no poo. Balls 'pee' a yellow liquid, some white chalky substance, and what looks like dark yellow or orange little tight balls. You'll know when your ball poo's.

Hey thanks mykee, that's really interesting.

I was sort of wondering about that, since he hasn't even eaten for quite a while. At least I know he's drinking ^_^ (besides having seen him drink... lol)
