Snakes can plan. I have proof.....
When my dad (I am 17 so I still live at home ;) ), who isn't exactly a lover of snakes, came home, I was letting Sherlock crawl around the living room floor. He told me not to let that "thing" touch him or anything near him. Everything seemed fine after that, with Sherlock crawing back and forth on and off the carpet. All of a sudden he stops. Wondering what was up and why he was acting weird I lifted him up and discovered that Sherlock had just taken/was in the process of taking a huge dump right in the middle of my dad's antique carpet. Hoping my dad hadn't noticed, I gently lifted him and, resiting all urges to run, hurried the snake back in his cage. This would't have been such a big deal if my dad hadn't been home. Suprisingly, he didn't yell. His face, however, was a lovely shade of red comparable to a tomato. Shockingly after cleaning up snake feces and the "trail" leading to Sherlock's cage, I was not allowed to leave my room. :snake: Sherlock the conspirator.

lol, usualy when you see them lift their tail it's a sign :), enjoy the time out, at least it didn't happen on the sofa or bed :)

Haha, the reason I never let them slither over anything I don't want poop (or other stuff) on. :D
Guess your father won't be falling in love with him anytime soon.:snake:

:rofl: oh yea they will pick the best times and places. I have one that just stops and then you know it is going to happen and then a couple will wag their tails like dogs...the others just do the lift. In the future...put down a large comforter with towels on it....this will take care of it all. We do this with our and when they "do their thing" then they are allowed off to wander.

I'll keep that in mind next time! :P

Mine tricked me too, well, her and my mother. My mom was handling her and kept sticking her tail up. She then handed Honey too me, and her tail was still up, which I assumed was from mom playing with her...and as soon as I let her down on my favorite blanket, she decided it was poopie time.
