I would agree :rofl:

My BP had his first two poops in my sweatshirt, on two separate occasions. First time was in my hood, second time in the front pocket of my hoodie, same hoodie both times! He hasn't done it since, and usually poops right next to his water dish.

I don't know? I guess. once or twice every week or two.

I read once that larger constrictors will hold onto poop as extra weight for bringing down larger prey, or as emergency balast to jettison if threatened. I don’t know if it’s the same for BPs, but I thought it was really fascinating.
