Hi what does snake musk look like?

My snake was only a mission last night..lol...and dumped loads of white stuff all over his log, it was kind of like toothpaste, is this urates? or what?

Thanks for educating me

projectile pee!
it's a defense reaction, relatively effective, well tbh it would put me off handling a snake that did it!

Sylar's tends to be a white liquid but he hasn't done it for ages.

As for urate balls. Sylar just does his all in one so it seems to be different from python/boa

WS- it could be that he was scared, but sounds more like that he was trying to make his viv into a home. His he new to it?

Nagini used to do it all over in a new viv, but calmed down eventually. They just like their houses to smell like them
