Ball python excreted waist on me!

so my baby normal, zeus, was drinking his water at night. i was sorta mesmerized by the drinking. so when he stopped, i came closer to the cage and tried to pick him up. well, he wasn't really in the mood to be held i guess at the moment, so he hissed at me. (he gets in those moods) i decided to keep on holding him, and sat down to watch T.V. about 3 minitues later i heard a squish like sound, i looked down, and wouldn't you know it, little zeus decided to poo on me... it was this long thing that smelled terrible, and the urine didn't help. As i stood up, the poo came off me and on to my rug. So heres my question... Who has had any incidents with poop and snakes?:confused:

Not necessisarily poop, but my female Sheva decided to excrete a copius amount of urine and urates all over myself and one of my favorite sweaters... while I was laying on my BED.

I wasn't too vexed though; I almost thought of it as a snake-owner baptism. lol

This happened to me twice last week. I was holding my Albino female and she was just moving threw my hands when my fiance was like :O and ran away saying that is gross. I had no idea what happened. Until I looked down. It was all over my lap and on the floor. Thank goodness the floor is tile. I held her away from me and let her finish. Then a few days later I noticed my Graziani female had a piece of her shedding on her back. I wet her down let it sit for a few minutes and statrted to work it off of her. Wouldn't you believe it she started to poop on me. I was like what the heck.

So with in the last two I have gotten pooped on twice. Bit 9 times. 5 by Ball Pythons, 1 by GTP, 2 by small mice (did not break the skin) and 1 by a hopper rat ( did not break the skin).

LMAO... It's happened to me a few times already, but I'm learning to spot the signals (and move them quickly). When the tip of their tail sticks up, they wiggle it around, and I notice that flattening around the middle - watch out, thar she blows!! :omfg:

lol i can say i not been nailed yet close but not yet now being bitten seems to be a normal event to me any more.

So, I take that you guys don't check for swollen vents before you decide to spend quality time with your snake? :rofl::rofl:

Any slight bulge, the snake doesn't get handled.

I have to say that has happened to me also, I got it from a couple of my balls and my two super dwarf retics. I have to say the mess was larger from the balls but the stink was far worse from my little 09 SD's.

The Albino was not even that swollen. I guess from her moving around threw my fingers just... Then the other time I was just focused on getting the shedding off.
