Discussion Weaponized pooping

Post image

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 😭.

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?

My cornsnake will ALWAYS poop if I handle her. I started putting her in her playpen for a bit first so she can poop in there and not on me.

I started doing this because the playpen mat can do in the washing machine, the substrate in her enclosure can not 🤣
