Luckily I rushed back to the tank before urates and poo really kicked off. He gets a kick out of it I swear. Haha I'm not too worried about it at this point, it gets me great pictures! Definitely nice to hear he's just being a typical noodle!
When I first got my little albino male the first couple times I took it out it would pee. I think they do this at first because they are so scared and so young. It is not getting a kick out of it I doubt. (Although I wondered what was up at first myself.) It is just so scared right now. With continued handling it will soon realize you are not going to hurt it and will stop the bathroom stuff, mine did. I also agree with the hunger theory. It means you have a good eater. I would feed the appropriate sized feeder every 5 days for a while. Eventually you can go up to a week and one day you will need to go to 10-14 days perhaps. But you have a snake like I use to have which I sold. (Loved her but I only want one snake to care for.) Anyway I called her a little piggy, but it just means your snake is happy (but hungry) so I would feed every 5 days for a while.
