Is it normal for a bp to get restless after pooping? o_O

I've noticed that my Eros gets super restless after soiling his tub and I'm just wondering if this is normal? He's always happily hiding unless he smells a mouse warming =P it's been so consistent that when I see him roaming around I just know that I'm on poop duty -___- and another thing...he refuses food on the days when he "goes" which also puzzles me.. if anything shouldn't he be hungry afterwards? Do any of your bps do this?

Would you want to be in the same general space as your poop? I think them trying to get away from it is normal, but some do 'cuddle' their turds, so...

ahahaha is it wrong that I find the term "cuddling a turd" to be cute? like a horribly morbid teddy bear xD but yeah I figured that he just wants to get away from the smell and general nastiness...I just didn't know snakes were sensitive to that

I didn't know at first either. I find that bps are either prissy or just down right don't care. My girl will stay at the opposite end of the tank until I clean it up. And when I do, she always pats her nose on the new substrate to make sure I got it all.
