Yea its about timing. I feed , leave for 2 days then handle for the next 2 days and then usually clean cage the next day. Pete

[QUOTE=rabernet;1182860]So, I take that you guys don't check for swollen vents before you decide to spend quality time with your snake? :rofl::rofl:


LOL, i totally check to see if they pooped first before i take them out.. the first week i got my first ball he crapped all over my desk! lol

Ahhh, assist sheds are ALWAYS conducted over a waste basket - they always seem to pee and poo the same time they shed. :gj:

Its usually a defence action that babies take. Since everything would eat a baby snake, anything that got a mouthful of that "poop" would spit it right out and the snake could escape. I have had ALOT of baby corns do it on me.

Well, Pickles shed a few days ago, and right after (that afternoon) he let it go(poop, pee, and urates) on my dad. One of the first times he handled him, too. Ah, glad I haven't been christened yet. :D

Any slight bulge, the snake doesn't get handled.

I have now learned that... at first it rarely occurred to me, until the incidents mentioned above. :D
