Hi just got a new ball python (4th) he passed some urates that were green tinted. i've never seen this before any ideas.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

FOr whatever reason thats what you get out of babies sometimes...

great thanks. probably should have mentioned though even though its new its 2 yrs old
thanks for you help

My older balls occasionally have somewhat green urates. I've also seen my babies do it. Not too big a deal

I always thought it had a little to do with what the mice or rats at. I know there are some who eat those seed mixes that have different colored food items in there? Maybe I was always wrong. It would seem odd if it just happened just because...?

Could be. My rats eat lablocks primarily, but i supplement with leftovers as rats are omnivores and the key to good nutrition is variety. I have 24 snakes in all and this is the first time i've seen this. Thanks for the input
