New Owner Question

Hi all, I’m a new BTS owner and I have questions about their urine and feces.
What’s that white mass from the urine? Is that Uric acid and is that normal to have such huge amount of uric acid?

Also, does the poop of my skink looks fine?
Sorry for worrying so much as I’m new to the community and couldn’t search any photos of urine or feces in the internet. Hope you all can help me out. Thank you :)

Actually the white stuff is the urine. They pee solid like birds. It looks fine to me.

Hello!
I have no idea how these work so bare with me. I just recently purchased a baby northern blue tongue skink and it was delivered to me yesterday at around 12 in the afternoon my time. He or she seems to be acting fine but is terrified of light it seems. When i place him or her inside the enclosure ( 40 gallon exo-terra with forrest floor as substrate and a heat lamp ) when the light is on it just kind of sits right where i put and does not move until i walk away and it takes a couple minutes. Very friendly and only a little hissy when i do have to handle it but im worried its not getting proper heat and lighting. I called the breeder and they said to turn the light off and use a head pad instead and when i do that he or she explores and enclosure and actually seems interested! He or she also will not eat yet, should i be concerned? Please help! I just want the best life for my new little bluey
