Glad to hear you are enjoying your new pet
Questions: How old is your ball python? How much does he weigh? How often does he eat and what are you feeding him?
How long do you handle him for? Does he go back into his cage after pooping?
As far as cleaning is concerned I would think anything sold to eliminate odors for dogs should work. I'm wondering if he is pooping due to anxiety from being handled? I've only had this happen once and at the time I was working on removing a stuck shed which required me to be more controlling over my boy Axel which eventually led to him emptying his bowels I assume due to the stress.
Do you wait at least 3 days after feeding before handling?
Kind of an extreme suggestion but I have experienced several of my ball pythons moving their bowels while being soaked. You could try soaking him/giving him a warm bath for a while before handling him? Might help contain the mess.
