Ball Python defecating in water dish ??

I have question for ya ??

How many of your BP defecate in the water?? and do you see it on regular basic or just occasionally??

I saw my balls peeing and leaving even solid urates in water before.... but today...

After I came back from work and open "Frigga's" tub I see Huge brown stinky surprise in water dish and her sitting in her obviously clean hide with this look on her face "Can i haz another rat please ??" :rofl:

That actually my first time in like 3 or so years of BP experience...

What about You Guy and Gals ???

I have never had Jaxx do that. He always goes and takes his dookie in the farthest corner behind his cool side hide. I nevr have to look around for it. Always in the same place everytime.

My female does it all the time, she will soak in her water dish until she has done what she will. My male has never.
(tank humidity at 50-60%)

my male normal does this a lot.

the 2 years I have had my bp he only did it once.... and that was about a week ago! lol
But he does seem to always use the restroom on his cool side for some reason... hmmm

I have a het pied female that does it frequently.

I really believe that she does it for spite.

My big dumb black pastel male does it. When I go out of town, it's pretty much the only instructions I leave to the "snake-sitters": watch the water bowls. It doesn't happen often, but I've had my female black pastel give herself the runs by poisoning her own water supply while I was out of town.

my male likes to poop all over the place. in his hide and then he'll crawl in it and spread it on the walls of the tub. he poops in the water pretty often. i've heard soaking helps them "release" so maybe thats why they do it. after all, you poop in water so why not them??

My cinnamon pretty much only goes in her water. Everyone else uses the paper like normal people :D
