Yes this is a serious topic lol
So quite a while ago, we got our oldest corn out on the bed and she took a massive poo and peed all over it so we had to bin the duvet, we thought this was her needing to go.. but she has done this again on the grass when we took her outside.. so yeah like i said i thought it was something she just does, so now we dont put her on the bed at all incase..
So earlier we got our smallest corn out philip and as usual i let him have a stretch on the bed and about 10 minutes after i handed him to mike to put away i got up and realised he had pooed and weed all over my foot.. so i wasnt to bothered about the foot but it was all over the covers and had seeped thru to the expensive duck feather duvet  luckily hes still small and the wet patch wasnt to much but got help the dry cleaning bill!
So now back to my initial question lol Do corns have a tendency to poo on covers? i know sometimes they like to put theirs bums in water and this makes them need the loo, but is there something about the cotton material that also makes them go?  |

| Your handling and your body warmth massages it out of them. They can hold it in while they are hiding, they wouldn't want to poo where they are hiding, you dig them out and it does give them the perfect opportunity. The trick is to wait until after they have pooped to handle them and to NOT put them on a bed. |

| will be the motion / movement of the snake that makes them go, not what type of covers you use. |

| I'd recommend getting a thick, cheap throw (or a big, thick towel)and popping it over your bed before handling them on it ;) |

| Mo poo's on my hubs every time he handles him. The number of times hes pooed on me a countable to one hand and I handle him everyday (bar the 2 days after a fed). My other half handles him once/twice a week and every time he poos. It does not matter if I handle him first for 5 mins or half and hour (or don't handle him at all). It very funny really, LOL |

 I thought corn snakes knew better. My Royal urates in his hide and of the 2 dumps he has dumped one has been in his hide but my corn always goes in the corner of the cold side. |

As said get yourself a thick cheap throw or a big thick towel to spread over your bed before handling. Will save your covers and duvet from getting soiled.  |
