Snake determined to poop on me

Pooping can be used as a defense. Musking (or peeing) is another lovely option.

In my case, it was always a few minutes after starting to handle him. If my little guy was using it as defense, it would be right after getting him out.

As a progression note, my little guy is in blue for the first time with me (squeeeeeeeee!), and I decided to give him a little bath. He hadn't poo'ed since feeding on Sunday, so bath it was! Pooped right away. Little stinker.

Congratulations on your first blue! I hope the shed goes well for you!
