Humans have urine, reptiles have uric acid. Its the white stuff that they secrete. I need a little help on this. One of my reptiles had pink uric acid today, does anyone know what it means? It almost definitly means something is wrong and its nowhere to be found on google and my vets never heard of it either. Can anyone help?

It's been a while, so I'll just ask if this problem has reoccured? If not, then I'm not worried. If consistent or worsening, start with bloodwork and general imaging to begin looking for the problem. Microscopic examination of the urates might reveal blood cells to see if that is the pink colouration.
