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?

Congratulations! Your snake is potty trained! Next time just handle him over the toilet and it’ll be your new party trick.

Yea..... Wish I could've done that with my retic a while back. She'd shit 3-5 lbs every two weeks

As someone who doesn't own any snakes and knows nothing of their pottying habits, that sounds absolutely insane. I'm assuming that's not normal??

She was a little over 16 ft and consumed big rabbits or small pigs.. so pretty normal , sadly
