Need medical help? Is this normal?

[J.Monaghen]

Is this picture below a normal excrement type that boas produce? Is this what is referred to as a Urea Ball? My female boa has eaten twice, and is properly housed at home. It has a slight ammonia smell to it.(I think that is the appropriate odor description!) The aspen pine substrate wasn't digested, it is just accumulated on the deposit.



Is this normal, or should I take her to the vet? Please advise. She appears healthy and happy, so am I just worrying too much?

Yes that is perfectly normal, those hard white things are urates... they come out when the boa pee's... as long as those wood chips didnt come out with them!! hah hah... Im sure your boa is fine...

I agree with Jeff he's right on the money! Interesting pic! ;P

Thanks folks, I was just concerned. No the substrate wasn't ingested, Delilah is removed from her enclosure, and feed in a separate "snack Shack".

Thanks for the help!
