Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Can't really say, based on your description.
Is the question about whether the snake is going to be too much for you related to your anxiety, or the snake's growth/future size? (If the latter, you probably should have considered that before now)

i fully considered the size before i got it, it is a male so i wanted to not have one that was a monster. basically, the white urine, was covered with a sort of mucus, thats the closest thing i can describe it to, it was odd and ive never seen it before. i just dont want anything to be wrong with it and have it die on me. when my leopard gecko died a few years back i was heartbroken, i dont want to loose another animal because of something that could be avoidable, now he has a small kink in his tail, which ive read is sort of common for burms, and he doesnt have trouble pooping, but today when i saw the green fluid i pushed some of the other poop out and it seemed fine, it was light brown and smelled like, well poop. he is also really lethargic all the time. he doesnt move around much or anything, just sits under his heat lamp, which is running between 80-90 degrees. i keep it rather humid it there, between 50-75% every day. im feeding it every 3 to 4 days. as far as i can tell, im not mistreating the snake in any way, i just dont want anything to happen to him. i work at the petstore where i got him and the reason i took him in the first place was cause i couldnt get a boa, but im starting to think there may be some health problems and im not financially secure just yet and would hate to have to pay a large vet bill for anything.
thank you for any advice you can give.

The basics of what you described are not unusual; but, again, we cannot say much more than that based on the description. It is difficult to convey amount, consistency and color. Depending on how much green, how slimy,and the particular color; it could be normal, not unusual, or an indication of a problem. Observe it, and if you are concerned, take a sample to your vet.
(Personally, I wouldn't feed it that often; except, maybe, if you are feeding undersized prey)

okay, when he poops again if the same thing happens, ill try to snap a pic and see what i can come up with. now is him being really lazy normal too? he also doesnt really want to drink. he should be shedding soon and that may be a factor but his skin is starting to wrinkle. i have yet to see him drink from any stationary water dish, i know snakes get most of their hydration from their prey, but if hes under the lamp all day i figure he would drink atleast a little, now i dont stay up all night and watch him, but like i said i have yet to see him drink. anything seem unusual here?

The skin shouldn't be wrinkled, even when approaching a slough - I would start soaking him.

What kind of bedding are you keeping him on?
Did you mean, that the calcium he popped was/had green? I've seen snake poop calcium and it has green on it. I couldn't tell you exactly what causes it, but it could be the "quality" of food you feed him?
