Is this normal ball python poop?

I came home today and Charlie left me her 3rd little present. It’s been like this every time, is it normal?

Those are not poops, they are pees. Technically called urates. And they are totally normal looking.

She just ate for a not too long ago if I remember correctly? If so that’s perfectly poop/urates since she has been drinking water. Her poop will turn dark and a couple more meals…

Yup! Just remember yellow is pee (urates) and of course poop is dark brown or black….

Ball pythons also have a frustrating tendency to hang onto poop if they’re getting close to a shed. If you’re lucky it’ll be wrapped in the skin and easy to dispose of. If not… I hope you don’t have one that wants to finger paint while shedding instead. It’s not fun.

It’s not unheard of for them to go 2-3 weeks before pooping as they get older as well
