Not with his teeth. With his pee/poop! I'm delighted he loves leaving his warm, pungent gifts all over me and my sofa!

Oh no! I found some mysterious poop on my duvet that was dry, no idea how long it had been there or how I'd managed to miss it!!!!

They are so sly with their pooping sometimes.

Henry's NEVER sly about it! Haha! He'll stop, lift his tail and bombs away! But I just love him to pieces, smelly gifts and all!

This is going to sound really bizarre but I prefer my corns to do their business out of their vivs because that way it keeps them cleaner. You learn the signs of when they're about to go - going still, tail lifting at an angle, vent popping out. And that's when you grab the kitchen roll that you must always have within reach, slip it under their tails and get ready to 'catch' .

Xxx

Yeah, I noticed too late that he'd stopped and lifted his tail! Hahah! Now when I get him out, I shall remember to have the toilet roll to hand! But you're right, it's better for them to do their business outside the viv!

I have good luck with mine, most poops hit the bathroom tile/vanity. A quick wipe and sometimes you don't even smell them (much )

'Warm, pungent gift'? I hate my snakes poop because it's always so cold and clammy (I tend to pick it out with a doggy bag, always keep several handy). Wouldn't be so bad if mine pooped warm poops lol.

Yeah, maybe the word "warm" was a little strong! But you know what I mean! Hehe!

I had taken ours to a meet the reptiles night at a local scout group last Thursday, which I do with a friend & his corns too.
One of his girls has been fasting, having had her 1st meal in 6 weeks+ the Sunday before.
During the evening, while we were all sitting cross legged on the floor, she suddenly looks me in the eye & climbs on me so I think ah bless she's had enough of the kids & wants a cuddle with aunty Rachel.....nope before I can work it out for myself she sprays poop everywhere, all over me... She was even sneaky enough to leave an extra little present in my hoodie pocket!
& omg did it stink.... An hour later I smelt very ripe..... Lesson learnt & next time I will pack spare clothes lol
