I got defecated on twice??

Ok, so this has never happened to me. Has this ever happened to anyone? I have a 22yr old normal and a 3 month old albino. Last week I was sitting on the couch with my older female in between the layers in my shirts warming her up and she defecated all over me. Not a pleasant experience as I was in jammy pants and as I stood up it ran down my leg and all over. Not fun, my friend thought it was hilarious as she fell to the ground laughing as I stripped down and ran to the shower. The second time just happened a few minutes ago. I was holding the 3 month old albino the same way - as I took him from under the layers I saw his tail cocked and I was a little gun shy after the last time. So he sat there in my hand with his tail cocked up and I ran into the kitchen and put him over the trash can. As I held him steady he proceeded to defecate while I was holding him over the trash can. It squirted all over and I was happy it wasn't under my shirt. I guess the lesson here is to not put a snake in the layers of your shirt. Has anyone ever heard of this? The female I've had for 22yrs and this has never happened. Is it just my lucky week??

It happens. Only to my wife though. :rofl:

Sorry to hear that! It's gross, isn't it? Happens to all of us eventually.

Last time I was pooped on, my boy had just shed and I got excited about how great he looked. Took him out of his enclosure, started walking to get the camera, and then felt something wet and warm on my shirt and on the floor (I was barefoot). Took me a while to figure out that he had gone all over me and the room. The floor stunk for days. Lesson learned: don't hold a freshly shed snake if it hasn't pooped in a while!!

I've gotten pooped on a few times. It's not fun. The last time got all over me. I was putting one of the bigger girls back in my rack. The rack is around 6' tall and I'm 5'3. So I was reaching up as she's in the top bin and just put her front in and was letting her crawl in by herself. Well she let one go and I got covered from head to toe. Needless to say I haven't done that again. I grab the step stool first.

I would rather be bit than pooped on any day. It hasnt happened to me yet but from cleaning out their tubs im ery familiar with the nasty smells...lol

My new bp, Paisley, pooped on me. She shed and I was trying to get the left over shed off her tail and she let it rip. lucky for me it just got on my shirt. My corn snake, Jake, poops on me all the time. It only happens to me.

My Dumerils got me this weekend. I was holding him, he let out a big loud, stinky, fart. I was trying to get him back in his enclosure in time, but no, he laid the deuce right across the back of my hand as he was going back into his enclosure. I gagged...

You are right about that. But it's nothing that some soap and a scrub brush can't handle...

Never happened to me yet. Glad it hasn't either cause snake poop has to be the most awful smell.

This is why I never got the deposit back on my last apartment ;)

You have a 22 year old Normal? That's amazing. I would love to see some pictures of her. It's not often I get to see such a senior snake. How has her color and pattern held up over the years?

Yes, lets see some pictures of that senior woman!!!! I've never seen a snake that old before.

Thanks.

It's happened to me a few times. It is gross but what can you do :rofl:

I had a similar experience. I had two different snakes poo on me within 24 hours of each other. It's really not an enjoyable experience and my boyfriend couldn't stop laughing long enough to help me.

I'll go take some pics now and figure out how to post them, just give me a few. Her color hasn't change much but I'll have to dig up some old pics if I can find them to compare.

This should help with posting pics.

Ok, I wrote all that before seeing your post so I am editing it. I can't open the link.

Your photobucket link works, and she looks AWESOME!

Thank you for linking to those pictures, Cally! She is beautiful. I think she may be the oldest BP I've ever seen pictures of and I'm starting to rethink some of the things I've been told about how these snakes fade as they get older. Her color is sharp and bold!

Have you owned her for her whole life?

:rofl::rofl: It happens mine pooped in the throw pillow for the couch. My wife was asking my what that noise was then the smell came :rofl::rofl:

Thanks so much for the compliments, she just shed so she is at her best color wise. Yes I have had her since she was little bitty. 22 years is a long time, I actually don't remember if I got her 90 or 91. Im guessing she was wild caught (I didn't know any better then). I was lucky to have a great herp vet even way back then growing up in New Orleans. She has been in many cage variations, I even made her a wooden cage with a glass front door myself that was a disaster until my father couldn't watch anymore and helped me out. Now she's in a 40 breeder. I would like to put a bit of weight on her, her appetite has slowed down, so I am keeping a close eye on that. But thanks again for the compliments!!

Cally, that's an awesome story! We always say these animals can live for 20+ years, but we hardly ever get to hear stories or see pics from snakes and keepers who have achieved that milestone. You have obviously taken superior care of her, and I look forward to learning from your experience here on the forum.
