Always poop in the same spot?
Does your snake consistently poop in the same spot?
I have a pretty large enclosure (50 gallon tank) and my snake has gone ~4 times now and it's been in the same spot every single time. I'm just trying to find out if this is odd.
Re: Always poop in the same spot?
My BP never poops in the same spot. He poops in his one hide and other times in a corner of the tank.
Re: Always poop in the same spot?
Its likely because it is a comfortable and secure spot, yet it is not where he is MOST comfortable (often it is the least used hide). He does not want to lay in it, but he wants to be comfortable.

This makes complete sense.
Re: Always poop in the same spot?
mine has a few spots that he usually drops in... one of which is his cool side hide... he likes to hide it from me and make me figure out why there was a huge spike in humidity... then I lift up his cool hide and BAM...

He's saying that the enclosure is so large, that the snake is afraid to move out into the open or explore, so it's staying in the same place all of the time, even if it's not the most secure place for him to be.

To me it made some sense because even with the size of the enclosure he regularly frequents 2 hides. I have 2 other hides in the cage that I have rarely seen him in. I've actually never seen him in the hide he poops in but seems to be frequenting it (at least to poop).
Re: Always poop in the same spot?
Mine all just seem to go, wherever. I do notice though, that the poop is almost always along the edge/side of the tub. I hardly ever see poop in the middle of the tub.. I guess maybe that they like to slither along the side to go?

My girl always goes in the same corner of her hide. Why she insists on pooping where she sleeps is beyond me!

yeah, my corn always poops in the same corner where she sleeps too. she doesn't poop there EVERY time, but i'd say 90% of the time, she poops in that same spot on the warm side.
