    Ummm sooo my snake.....

    Seems a bit timid. Gets scared of feeders, a bit squirmy, hisses. You know the lot. So last night I take him out to hang out with him, he squirms for a second then evacuates his bowels. So much pee!!!! I didn't even know they had liquid pee. Hahahaha. I'm guessing he did this out of fear. Haha. Anyone else have a bp that gets scared $h!tless?

    It happens. Pythons very rarely musk but they are capable of it, it's mostly urine when they do - I imagine it was a defensive mechanism considering all the other behaviours. Just keep spending time with it, keep it supported properly when your holding it, and be weary of it's head so you don't stress him out more than you need to. He should tame down over time.

    It does happen occasionally. Usually when they are stressed or something is different to them. We have had a few BPs let go a few times. Funny thing is, they did it on my son's friend each time.

    Mine is 3 weeks of having him and is very timid. When I old him he's shook but easies up a bit,but is still very scared of me...f/t ,feeders he strikes within 2 seconds. ,comes out often and stands up and slithers around..watches my cats and my cats watch him...just me he is scared of. But never hisses or strikes at me,he is very gentle and sweet,I love him,he's great

    So the trick is, have someone else take the snake out if it's " one of those guys".

    I had a 360g male spider piss all over me when I popped him to show my stepson what it looked like when you pop them. Literally like a full cup of urine with one big urate plug holding it all in.
