 Brown Poo In MY BP’s Tank?

Usually his poo is whitish. Yesterday it looked like dog doodoo. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?
Could it be that his food wasen’t healthy?

Thanks BoaBabe, I was worried. I’ve had BP in the past and never saw that.
Once again thanks for relieving me.

The white stuff is the urates, and the brown stuff is the actual poo.

The white, like bird poo has high concentrations of urea. The brown stuff tends to be fur/hair and bile. What you look out for is parasittes in the poo, or very wet slushy stuff that is high in mucous.

yes folk..it is uric acid(snake pee). dont confuse it in any way with poo though..this is how snakes urinate. They use water and moisture more in their bodies so the urine is a dry solid and sometimes some fluid to help this stuff come out and what they dont use.
