Got Menthol out for her evening handling last night and everything was fine. She seems to have settled in well.Passed her to my OH so that they get used to each other and after a few seconds there was a slight scream and a call of "Get some tissues". Menthol had decided to poo on her. Even worse, Kerry had just got changed into a nice clean pair of PJs and was now covered in the foul smelling stuff. Needless to say, Menthol was handed back to me very quickly.
they love that trick as young snakes, know mine are older you can see there vent bulge before they poo so if i think they are about to go back in the viv they go
ive had a couple of times where i have gotten slider out n seen her bulge n she has luckily been over the bin a couple of times so saves me some clear up.But i did get ****** on by the big corn few weeks ago.. that wasnt the most pleasent of moments i have experienced whilst owning them..lol but hey all good fun

I keep an eye on Sid his favorite trick is to stay calm and then move around a little then raise his tail and try to catch me out. I usually allow him to do it while being handled I take him into the garden so it keeps the viv clean and saves me some work. Sometimes though he manages to get some on me .
Glad it wasn't me.
