Zina, you asked for it!

Yeah, colubrids (Hognose are colubrids, right? - Showing my naivety here) like to poop.

They are and it's pretty much what goes in comes out rapidely, which is why I always smile when people worry that their BP has not had a bowel movement in a week or two, in my mind I am like: Enjoy! M

Is it just me, or does colubrid/mouse poop smell awful?

It's definitely a different more overwhelming smell.

I am sure many people would rather clean poop than deal with spreadsheets and numbers all day!

I have done both and it might sounds crazy but cleaning poop is not that bad after all, then again growing up as a kid I used to for on a far every summer so there are worse smells.

My passion as always revolved around animals and being able to do more of what I love and less of what I don't is a blessing.

Axanthics also have the black belly. I'm a sucker for the axanthic morphs and have multiple projects planned for 2020 when my two females reach maturity.

In my experience, hognose poop has the worst odor of any species I've kept. When I first got him I switched him to paper towel substrate and at only 11 grams I could smell his poop throughout the room. I actually remember thinking a neighbor may have fertilized because it honest to goodness smelled like cow poop. Since he's been moved to his bigger enclosure he's on aspen and I only notice it if I open his enclosure. Thank you substrate for absorbing the odor!!!

I've never had stinky corns or Kings though. I've moved on from corns, but will always keep Kings. Django's poop has pretty much no odor at all.

My BP, Tyson, has some stinky poops, but not always. His pee stinks like hell though.

I honestly don't really remember how any of my snakes pee/poop smelled years ago when I was first keeping snakes, but don't remember any that were real stinky.
