    making a "mess"?

    is it normal for a ball python to empty her bowels and blatter ALL OVER? it was the biggest mess ive ever seen? i didnt think about it as a breeding response so i moved them over to his tub and left them paired up and cleaned up her tub.. it was horrible.... but im wondering now after the fact... did i make a rookie mistake?

    Yea they sometimes poop and pee all over the place when they are having none of it.. Had a girl do it two years in a row and then she settled down last year and allowed a male to breed her.

    Re: making a "mess"?

    Peeing provides pheromones and is normal. I have a female that pees on all over tubs and males before locking and she is 4000 grams so it is quite a sight ,lol.

    Many breeders will leave tubs with pee and sheds when adding males for the pheromones.

    Nothing to worry about. Ours do it sometimes too.



    You wanna see a mess? I'll take a pic of our female spider next time she poops. Every single time she spreads it around every inch of her tub and dumps her water. Brat!

    Especially when I have not yet witnessed a pair locking up, I will let her get extra dirty.

    LOL, it sounds really bad but it is true... old pee and shed seems to stimulate the male. Different strokes for different folks I guess....
