Need advice from fellow red tail owners.

Ok so I've had a young red tail for about a month now. I've noticed that I regularly find her poop and it looks good. But I don't find any of the white urate or anything of the sorts. Her humidity is perfect and her water/soaking dish is perfect as well. Any thoughts or tips? Thank you.
 
Now that I think about it, I don't remember finding urates in with my gals either. Not that I remember every poop or urate that I remove from the enclosures. So long as they eat well, shed well, and seem healthy and alert, there shouldn't be any cause for concern. Definitely an interesting observation though. I'll have to pay more attention now haha
 
Awesome thank you, I just find it with all five of my other snakes. Just not my red tail. Let me know what you observe for sure! I also messaged Brian Barczyk about what he thinks he usually answers pretty quick.
 
I hear ya, I get a ton of urates from everyone else. I can't believe I never noticed that before. Let us know what Brian says! I'm sure he'll be able to shed some light on the subject. My gal Sophia went to the bathroom today, but no urates to be found as you pointed out. Maybe younger boas utilize more water and have less to excrete than an adult?

Well it's refreshing to know I'm not the only one!! Thank you. I'll let you know what Brian says for sure he pretty much always answers me when I ask for advise. And we all know Brian is the man!!! Lol
 
So Brian responded! He said as long as the stool looks healthy don't worry about the lack of urates, that there really isn't anything that could be wrong with the snake just as long as the stool looks good. Phew!!! I was worried but hearing it from a pro like Brian makes me feel much better.
