I wasn't ready for this.

Not to sound gross or anything, but man can these guys take a dump. Today I opened the enclosure for a handling session and HELLO! I didn't look before opening and the smell smacked the hell out of me and the worse part is he crawled through it.

I was pretty disgusted. I haven't experienced something that like that since my kids were in diapers. I'll have to remember to look before opening from now on. Hopefully I got all the poop off of my BP, but it's hard to tell.

Don't worry Jeff if you've changed a baby's butt it's not that much worse LOL. BP's do manage some big stinks, not as stinky or the pure mass of what a big BCI does but they can set you back a step nonetheless LOL. I've got a good enough nose now that I just walk into the snake room and go..."okay who did it???".

and usually they decide to go right after you clean their enclosure out now thats special..http://www.boxchamp.com/forum/style_...champ/1036.gif

Tell me about it. Nothing I have seen beats a large BCI poo after a nice rabbit dinner

Nothing beats a big boy BCI poop after a 2lb rabbit dinner... that was eaten a week ago...

At least he is sanitary and goes potty in his water(although his fat butt sloshed the water out).

I have 3 girls in shed right now and two that just shed(yay for after-shed poopie). I will definitely have a fun time cleaning and that will give me a good chance to get a fecal sample on all of the children to check for internal parasites, just in case. I usually do that once per year if they decide to grace me with their little presents.

Adult Boa poop... now there's something to look forward to.
I've never had a realy stenchy doodoo occur from either of my snakes. I guess mice don't create a potent smell.
And I also hate when my BP waits till I clean his cage. Kinda like a "thank you" present. Well you're quite welcome. :rolleyes:
