why does my corn always poo on me

for some reason my corn has decided that i am the ideal place to go to the toilet,

does anyone else ever have this problem
 
i find if the corn is on the cool side then you pick it up with hot/warm hands it stimulates it causing a bowl movement.. kind of the same deal as warm water bath..

just my thots.
 
This is why I usally have an old towel on my lap when I hold Nagini. A couple of weeks ago I was holding her and then she looked at me and got real still. I just thought she was trying to get a good look at me or something. Well, Im still shocked how much actually came out of her, looked A LOT more then what I have been feeding her!!! Then when I thought it was all over, nope, it wasn't!! Good thing I had that towel :)
 
Best time to hold them is right after they poo in their cage;) lol I noticed that whenever i soak my burm in warm water, she ALWAYS makes it a point to poo in the water. You can always tell tho when they are going to go potty, tell tale signs lol.

Seems as tho whenever i clean my snakes cages, as soon as i put them back in...they poo. Anyone elses's snakes do that? I think they do it to piss you off lol
 
My snake Dennis, poop's on me every time I get him out. Thankfully when he sticks his tail up he let's me put a tissue under it! :)

Yes. I think they are marking their territory or something.
 
I have not had the 'honour' of being on the recieving end of one of Travis' poo's yet!
When a poo is imminent, I hande him over a sheet of kitchen paper, and look for the signs.

:-offtopic When reading the title of this thread, I sung it to the tune of 'Why does it always rain on me?' :rolleyes:
 
I avoid the poo problem more or less by only handling them like a day or two _before_ feedings. This way you know their digestive tract is more or less cleared up, and they'll be a lil more active since feeding time is around the corner.
 
yah, you guys try a snake pooing IN YOU HAIR!!... and just so you guys know how my hair is, here is a pic of me (sorry if its large... and I know its crappy):

Aww man!! THat would suck to have a corn poop in your hair!! Was he just cruisin' around your head or what?


Also, how many people have ahd their corn poop in the water bowl? I havent had that problem.
 
what happened is.. I let my snake roam around in my hair as he usually just goes around in it endlessly and doesnt try and get hidden somewhere I cant see, say behind me and down my chair since I like to have him out while I'm on the computer. well that day I took him out and I decided to let him go up there since he already pooped the night before, but I failed to realize that he usually poops twice after feedings :D regardless, I was downstairs looking for food when he did it and didnt realize it until I felt drops of liquid coming down my neck.. heh, after I couldnt pick anymore out I washed my hair thoroughly like 3 times.. it was a fun experience.. only happend like 2 weeks ago, I havent had him for more than a month maybe a month and a half, I have to check. Regardless, I still hesitate to let him crawl around up there...
