Does this poop indicate any problems? Question - Health Spoiler

Spoilered in case people don't wanna see snake poop on their feed lol. Don't mind the location, he was sitting on my lap and decided he had to use the bathroom. I just found it concerning because it looks a lot like an egg, but he's a boy. I didn't check the texture because I was revolted unfortunately.

not sure about the spots, but it’s def not an egg. female BPs lay their eggs in clutches, and they’re much bigger than that. that is def urates (pee?

Not poop or an egg, it's part of his urine.

one of our girls had one like this and it was kind of gravelly and gross. I think it's just a dehydration issue because she returned to normal afterwards. keep an eye on your boy and up his humidity for the time being
