    Poop Location

    Weird title, right? I just happened to notice tonight while cleaning tubs that all my snakes tend to poop and pee on the same end of the tub every time. Never fail, all of my ball pythons poop and pee on the warm end of their tubs. My corns will poop and pee anywhere, but the ball pythons seem intent on doing their business on the warm side. So where do your's like to go?

    Maybe it is because I have naturalistic set ups, but mine never go in the same place. It completely varies every time, one snake to another.

    While mine do always poop on the warm side, they are quite the artists. They will draw me pictures sometimes. Hmm...maybe I could sell these works of art like some people do with elephant paintings.....I'd make a fortune! ......or not.

    My guys poop behind their water dishes in the corner of the tub on the cool side almost every single time.

    Mine have a strong preference for the warm side corners of the tubs. Although, once in a while there is a dropping on the cool side.

    Re: Poop Location

    All 3 snakes...always on the warm side...always in their hides...always smeared around the sides. The boys don't seem to mind sharing their space with a steaming pile of crap for an evening, but I always know when my girl poos in her hide when I find her curled up outside of her hide the next morning with a look on her face like, "There's something really gross in there..." I keep telling her that if she pooped outside of her hide, she wouldn't have to abandon ship...she's yet to learn that lesson...
