Sounds like urates.

I haven't ever seen anything like any of these from Silv. All I have ever seen out of him is small amounts of some white.. stuff. Normally accompanied by fluid (

I agree with Steve. That's garter "pee" you described, which can, and does happen much more often than actual poop. When it's poop, you'll know it.

There's a joke that's been around for a long time...

"Do you know what that white stuff is in bird poop?"....

"It's bird poop".

That's not actually true. The white stuff is actually their equivalent to "pee".

It's like our urine, only in a more solid form to conserve water. If you've ever kept lizards, you see it there too, only it appears as a yellow crystalline lump. "Solid" pee is what it is.

Bird excrement and reptile excrement are very similar. Sometimes it's just "pee" sometimes it's just "poop" sometimes, its both in the same lump.

Bottom line is, the white stuff you're seeing coming out of your snake is "pee" Next time it's time to clean the tank and you see a lot of that white stuff around, take a good whiff of it. One sniff and you'll know, it's urine.

I know this is an old threat, but I wanted to thank you guys for posting it. I was worried about Willow but in looking at the salmon poo I needn't worry. Thanks!

[guidofatherof5]

Poo thread is good. Thanks.

I don't know, I don't find it all that threatening, myself.

I thought I would bump this thread up, we've had quite a few new members since its creation.
Gross subject but also an important subject. Poop can be an indicator of good and poor health.
Being able to identify what you're looking at needs to be part of an overall health strategy.
Just one more piece of the puzzle in keeping a healthy snake.

For our new members this is always helpful information.

Thats a lot of $#it....lol sorry had to say it. But yes i agree with what the members are saying. If we see something were not used to it would be nice to be able to look at these to compare. Exspecailly if youre trying a different food and ur not used to seeing a certian poo. And it might get scary and think something might be wrong. I like that this thread is here so i have something to look back on for questions. Thank you.

I say we PM Stefan and see if we can enter this quote to a vote for "2011's funniest circumvention of the word filter" Award.

But seriously, he doesn't like it when we say that $#it. Forum rules and all.
