    BP's Locked, but....

    OMG one of them urinated and the tub REEKS even worse than usual! Since they were locked I didn't mess with them, but does this happen often?

    Balls like it dirty, I've seen them poop and pee all over each other before.

    I've never bred ball pythons (or any snakes) before... but could it maybe just be because they only have one vent, and need to you know, clear it out for the mating process?

    BP's Locked, but....

    Just clean them when they unlock. It's gross, but it's normal.

    All righty then, now I know! Just never saw that discussed before, and when everyone got paired up the first time they were pretty clean about it. I guess the winter storm we're getting this week really got them going.
