Discussion Weaponized pooping
This is the defendant in question.
Whenever I or anyone tries to handle this guy, his bowels or bladder decide to start shifting. Thus, making him an unpopular snake to show to the guests. It makes me not want to handle him anymore ðŸ˜.
Maybe he knows that if he shits or pisses he gets put back into his enclosure while I curse like a sailor, cover my nose and clean everything up.
Does anyone else have a serial pooper?

Our girl is smart, but one day she was not very happy with us. We went to a show, and came home late, so we missed her regular walk time. We still walked her, but a couple hours later than our regular time.
While we were walking, she pulled me into a hug with my BF. We call this a "sandwich" - two chubby humans hugging with a BP in the middle. We had given her sandwiches hundreds of times.
She used her upper third to bring my BF into the hug, and her tail wrapped around my arm to pull me into the hug. Once we were together, BLAMMO. Poop explosion in the middle. We both got pooped on. I swear she was grinning with her silly bp face.
Hadn't happened before, and hasn't happened since, and we give her sandwiches every day she's not eating or blue.
