What are the "white turds"?

Sorry, novice question I know. I have heard they are urine pellets. I have also heard they are rat bones. So, what are they?

Urine pellets, or Urates as they're better known. They do also pass a liquid urine which, with my snakes at least, is most often done when they desire a bit more humidity.JMO. My female has done this on her eggs when the humidity wasn't to her liking.
