Poop, regurge, or something else? Help, please.

So I just fed Severus 2 F/T pinkies this afternoon and I just walked in and there is what I'm assuming is poop in his water bowl (he's a water bowl pooper). It's brown, but it's also was a tad mucousy and there's some white stuff (which oddly still appeared dry even in water) I haven't seen before. A couple days ago I also noticed the same dried white stuff on the outside of his water bowl. Can their poop be mucousy and sometime white like this? It doesn't look like any regurge photos I've ever seen. He's always been a superb eater. I recently moved into my boyfriend's house a few weeks ago and gave him the week to himself before handling/feeding him, and I even baby-stepped him back to the 2 pinkies he was up to before (2 feedings of just single pinks first). He's pretty close to being due for a shed, so I'm not sure if that's coming into play here, but he's also one of those little dudes that will eat whenever he is offered a meal. So is this just poop I'm looking at, regurge, or something else?

P.S before I took the bowl out to clean it, whatever this is was in a more formed shape. The movement of the bowl shook it up and spread it out like it appears in the picture.

That isn't a regurg, I know that much. Looks like poop to me. The white stuff is the pee.

But I'll let the scatologists speak up.
 
Thanks! That's what my buddy just said too. Said it's uric acid. This is totally new for him, so it threw me for a loop.
 
Plus I've never seen a poop the same day of a feeding. My first instinct was poop too, but I just needed some reassurance. :)
 
I have a number of corns that poop in the feeding tubs. As I'm not watching I don't know if it is before during or after eating, but they sure can make a mess in the tub.
 
My guess is he just wanted to get a poop out of the way since he's due for a shed. Lol. It's 6 weeks on the dot since his last one. Just put his humid hide in the tank for him. :)
