wrong time or something wrong?

OK this tuesday i got a new bp and i was holding him and he started to just pee all over me so i put him in his little box and he peed some more in there. The next day i brought him out of his tank and put him on my floor so my friend could watch him slither and then he just exploded poop almost hitting my friends hand it smelled horrible.
is it just that i was at the wrong place at the wrong time or maybe somethings wrong? because i read that they only go to the bathroom every few weeks or so and he ate the night before so i was thinking that might be alittle too soon for him to go to the bathroom.if any one has any idea let me know please im not that concerned about becuase he seems fine now. im pretty sure i was at the wrong place but i would like to have a second opinion.

They will sometimes go when they are stressed out. If you just got him Tuesday, you should give him a full week with no handling to settle into his new home.

alright, thanks.

Also, it's a good idea to let them digest a meal for two days before handling them. The little guy was probably stressed/scared. You're probably lucky he didn't regurge his meal.

Good luck with the little guy.
