Question
I apologize for asking you this question. All of the snake experts are not open at the moment so i decided to ask a reptile expert. My corn snake has not eatin a thing in six weeks. This last day he has pooped out white stone shaped balls almost. We had to manually help her do this but i think there may be more in her. Please i need your help i am very worried. Sorry and thank you,

Answer
 As someone who knows lizards and not snakes, white "stones" could be either of two things, hard urates or old eggs.  She needs to go to a reptile vet to make sure that if it's eggs, that all of them have passed.  If it's urates, then she needs hydration.  I would be my advice for any lizard.  With snakes, I can only guess.  Please don't penalize me if I'm wrong about urates and snakes.  But a vet visit is always a smart move.
