> Sorry, I don't have a pic either. But imagine an old 'tootsie roll' slightly mishapen,a lttle pailer in color. Not a nice image,but... The urine, like Richboa said, is a hard chalky white, and usually somewhat round mass. The size of the 'possible snake', will determine the size of excrement(feces). The good side of this, you may have to clean up snake poop, but the rodent population should be kept in check, if in fact that's what the snake is feeding on. Snakes don't, by nature, spead diseases. But wild rodents do, many times by their feces. So if you keep the feces from accumulating, you reduce the risk of diseases(eg. 'hunta virus' out in the southwest).
