With the position that you stated of the mass I would not think that it is urates... Bloods are known to not deficate very often (once a month seems about norm). You however sound like your having much bigger problems than this. My only guess would be that the snake still has worms or there is some sort of internal damage (deterioration of the stomach/intestinal lining?). As for the browning its hard to say as well.. if your talking actually on the scales, then its probably scale rot. In which case lower the humidity and treat it with betadine. A picture always says a thousand words and that might help a little. But there is no question about it YOU NEED TO GET THE SNAKE TO A VET. Even a non herp vet will be able to help alot more than any of us.
