It could be messy!!! :D
I'll post an "After" pic when she offloads, so you can see the difference!

Disgusting? Yes. Vital information for newbies to Ball Pythons, though. I had to learn by experience!

oooohhhh yes. The first time Atreyu pooped on me was at the end of his 5 month fast...That was my signal that he was ready to start eating again!

But MAN was it GROSS!!! Atreyu has gotten me twice....Bastian once.

I've got very clean snakes. They only poop in their cage and always on the same place.

I dont give mine a chance to crap on me.....cause I dont handle them until they defecate.

Don't you just love how nice and squishy their bellies are when they get like that? It's so gross, you just know they'll let go at any moment, hehe.

I'll be watching a movie and all of a sudden Monty will let one go all over me, it's random and always unexpected.
