Ball python hatchling just diarrhea'd all over me?
My one hatchling is super tense, strikes easily. When I was handling him just now to try to tame him down, he peed/diarrhea'd all over me. Was that out of defense???
Will he ever just chill out???

Snake is terrified and defensive... How old? What size enclosure and how long have you had him?

Snake had to poop, no big deal. When they pee put them down or move them away from your clothes
Give the snake three days an handle him again for 5-10 minutes. Some times it's just touching the snake in the enclosure an letting it be. Time is your friend.
Good luck!

To your tiny snake, you're a scary GIANT. Snakes rely on their 'wild' instincts & the only thing that picks them up in the wild is a predator about to eat them.
And even humans pee their pants when really frightened...

I was holding him probably 10 min, and he seemed chill, then out of no where......storm broke loose.
I've had him maybe 3 weeks, but I've handled him maybe 3x.
None of my other ones have done this before.

Snakes aren't very expressive...it takes lots of practice to read their body language, if you ever really can. To you he seemed 'chill' but who knows what he really thought?
Let's face it, you're really 'inspiring'!

Seems like the little baby had to poop. Lol as u get used to him you will be able to tell how he is doing, but more important is u will learn not to pick up a snake with sausage butt. Lol
I’m just a bill sitting on top of capital hill.

Yes, it does help to see if there's a bulge above the vent...

Can anyone send me pics of sausage butt? Totally serious, so I know what to look out for.
Like I said, none of my babies have done this before.
