they don't exactly pee. the chalky white stuff with their feces is urates, and it's the closest leos get to urine. I have had something similar happen before, and I'm not exactly sure what it is, may just be water expelled as a defense mech, but I'm guessing maybe your male squirted from one of his gland pores? It doesnt happen often, seems to be stress related (ie, when being handled) and I haven't found any ill effects.
