all snakes grow and put on weight at different rates, i am no expert but i think that as long as your corn looks healthy and you can see that your corn putting on weight and growing at a healthy rate then there is nothing worry about. |

touch wood justin has only pooped on my bed once lol! i know now that if i get him out 48 hrs after feeding and let him roam around then the likely hood is that he will poo on me lol, but if i get him out and just let him slide though my hands for about 10mins and then put him back in his viv then he normally poo's striaght away. then i am normally ok to get him out for as long as i like after that.
but like i said be for all snake are different lol, i hope he grows out of it for your sake lol.
also let us know how much weight kchalice puts on it will be interesting to know |

Its sooo frustrating, i got her out just after 48 hours after her first feed with me and she pooed, 4 days later i got her out again and she pooed on me again ... so when i though i was safe i wasnt, this time i left her 3 days and shed done one poo on my cloth in the tank, (that smelt of me) and when i got her out 20 mins later of her roaming through my hands she pooed on me again !!! its funny but i would really like her to stoppit now !!
and yea i will do :) cannot wait to see how quick she grows hopefully quick lol !!

does she always poo on the cloth that is in her viv?
if so i would take it out as it sounds like she has associated your scent as where she likes to poo, i know it sounds silly but i really cant think of anything else. |

try and do what i did, get her out for 10mins and then put her back in her viv. because when you hold your snake the warmth of your hands and the snakes movement stimulates the muscles which makes the snake go for a poo
you carn't halp but love them can you. |

| Just keep an eye out for the tail lift and a piece of paper towel at hand and ready to catch whats coming. When Spot poops you can see his muscles working down the bottom end and then his tail lifts straight up. Failing that trade her in for a royal, they save everything up for when they shed (usually) and let it all go in one big messy, smelly go. |

Hey,
I think i had her out for about half an hour, im again a bit worried now, shes been hiding under her substrate under the cold side for 2 days now yet the temp is only around 70 - 72 degrees in the day, so surely she will want to be in warm side??
Thanks :) |

She's probably moving over to the warm end at night while you're not that to watch her. They like to worry us I think!
Mine spend a lot of time in the cold side or at the top of the viv in their vines. |

hey lynne
oh dear... maybe we did speak to soon. i have noticed that if i get justin out and let him roam around on my bed, he does tend to poo. but if i just keep him in my hands "moving around" he doesn't have chance to poo. if you see where i am coming from.
maybe be just have to keep fingers crossed and hope she grows out of it. |
