Peeing...

    Peeing...
    Alright, I had a Ball python a couple of years that I really loved (a Pastel that was named Taz). I moved to another province and my mom was taking care of him...
    Many times Taz would pee on her. However for the year and a half I had him and handled him everyday he NEVER peed on me.
    When I handled him I would let him wander around...or let him take a "nap" around my neck.
    My mom would usually keep him steady on her in a ball.

    Is it how she interacted with him that made him pee? Or how I interacted with it that made him not pee?

    I'm looking at getting another one now that I'm more stable financially. :taz:

    Peeing on a person is usually a sign of stress.
    Maybe because you handled your snake more often and let him do whatever, he was more comfortable.

    In order to keep a ball well...in a ball, you usually hold them tight or poke their heads(and they'll ball up on their own). And sometime balls stay in a ball because they're scared. It's a defensive mechanism. I'm not sure what your mom did to keep your snake in a ball, but it clearly was stressed from the actions.

    Timing is everything - I'm sure it was just a matter of your mom just having bad timing - happened to be holding him when he had to go. Just my thoughts. Your day will come - lol:)

    Same thing happens with my King...he's musked me before but has never peed/pooed on me but I think literally every time my bf has handled him him he lets out some poop/pee right off the bat. It's pretty amusing :P
