Potty Training a BP?

mine does that exact same thing and it makes me so mad! :taz: ive been wondering why he does it. i really dont think its stress bc when he's out he acts completely comfortable. the last 3 times in a row hes been out (once a week) hes done it. i feel for u tho!

I made a humid hide in the viv and for one reason or another this has become the designated toilet for Charlie - he consistantly does his business there and it makes tidy up so much easier .. maybe worth a shot for you ?

Question 1: How can you get mad at a ball python? They have no perception of right and wrong. It's like getting mad at an infant.

Question 2: Wouldn't it be prudent not to put your snake in your bed at this point?

Suggestion: Try a quick soak in some warm water right when you pull him out of his home. The only time our snake ever :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: outside his home was during a soak.

I have never been pooped on by any of my snakes either. Sunny likes to hide her poop and urates in her tank, she has a bit of cage furniture in there, so when I am spot cleaning I have to search around and under everything, but at least her hides stay clean, she has not pooped in either of them unless it was a shed/poop combo.

maybe your girl just really loves you and is trying to give you something to show it!! You can't say she never gave you anything..... JK!! I honestly have no idea why she would do it all the time if she doesn't seemed stressed.......

With one of mine he only goes in the water bowl.. and only after i change it..! i'll check and clean right before bed and in the morning amost always at least one nasty in the water.. I have not been poop on by one of my snakes yet but i do have 5 kids been puked or pooped on once a week about 7 years.. :D :)
