    What should I do?

    I fed my ball python yesterday and today she took a crap, but she crapped in her hide and I have to move her just to get it. Can I pick her up?

    It's not a problem. It just isn't recommend to handle, meaning to hold and play with, your BP for a few days after feeding. Moving from one enclosure to another is fine though. That won't cause enough stress to cause a possible regurge.

    Its pretty normal actually, get used to it. Our BP's often 'pass waste' in their hides.
