Digestion Problem?

I recently obtained a new savu python a few weeks ago... I feed it three small live mice the first week I had it and then two more small ones the following week. They love to burrow and she never seemed to get away from that heating pad. Cage temp was around 85 plus back heat. When I switched her cage, after the first feeding... I only found one small white clump and it was very dense like caulk. I had just fed her the second round at this point. I checked her cage once again only to find another small white dense clump! She is in a jar, her waterbowl... I cant get her out. I was going to try and put some pressure on her vent to see if I can clear it. She just tensed up in there and hissed at me when I tried to get her out. I moved the jar closer to the heat tape and turned it on high.

Any thoughts

The white hard clumps are urates. It's how they pee. It will deficate when it's ready.

I wouldn't use a container they could wedge themselves into for a water bowl. Safer to use a plastic or ceramic crock or tupperware bowl.

Also, if proper temperature gradient is provided the snake will choose how hot or cold it wants to be, no need to put it on the heat. Water bowl on the warm end makes bacteria grow more quickly.

Good luck.

Good info... She is doing fine... it has passed...

Thanks for the reply
