Washing a snakes face

[Bl69aze]

Hi guys
My Darwin has decided to do a poop and I guess run through it and now has poop all on her face

What should I do to clean it, I've tried using my fingers a lil bit wet but she freaks out

Encourage her to go through a damp towel/paper towel

Or restrain her head and wipe with a damp cloth

Thanks for the reply unfortunately these didn't really help even with a fair bit of pressure (didn't want to crush her skull but) as it looks like it's really dried up over night (happened sometime in my sleep)

Thankfully none of it got in her eyes, and I gave her a damp piece of towel in corner of her tub if she was wants to rub into it and try get it off herself

I train all my baby Darwins to poop in one corner and take regular baths, the girls catch on easy but the boys take longer.

Offer her a big tub to soak in?
Or wait to the next shed

How do you "train them" I'd like to learn

Easy, after feeding or shedding put them in the required corner, rub their tummy till they poop then put them in their bath, takes a few hundred repetitions. Then selective breeding - I only breed the clean ones.

Might add this as a 'trait' on my for sale ads, Might help sell a few more animals.

Bugger! Now I've given away my sales secret.

Just to be clear ... not straight after feeding ?

My python is clearly not a smart one, put him in the corner after his feed and rubbed his belly as instructed. He bit me.
