Okay, so I have had my one normal bp, cuddles, for about seven months now. He's has been an amazing snake and has such a personality. I have never had any trouble with him at all. He is my first snake.

Recently, I went to a reptile show and bought a new snake. She is a Mojave ball python and her name is snuggles. When I bought her she was only three weeks old and was eating fine and is very healthy. I have had her for about a month now. I would say, about one out of every three times handle her, she poops. It is getting really frustrating. Cuddles has never pooped while I was handling him, or even when I was watching him in his tank. I just find it really odd how she keeps pooping pretty much every time I handle her.

My boyfriend also bought her sister, a spyder ball. They are from the same clutch. The same thing happens to his snake too. It's just really annoying! I'm afraid to hold her or else shell poop! Will she grow out of this? Is it sort of like human babies,pooping a lot? When I got cuddles he was much older than she was. I am hoping it is just a baby snake trait.

I know this is a really awkward post, but I really just want to know if this is normal or if shell grow out of it, or if anyone else has had this same problem. Thank you!
