the other day i took bubs out for the first time since he'd eaten (about 4 days after) and he just coiled up and watched some tv with me as usual until i felt his tail up my sleeve kinda tickling me and i realised he'd just peed on me! how embarassment.
anyway, today luke was holding him while i cleaned the tank and he pooped right there on the floor...charming. do anyone elses snakes do this kinda thing? i sorta thought they'd always do it in their cage which he has done up until now. we just put some polished rocks in his tank recently and this is the first feed he's had since they were introduced - is it likely that he would not want to dirty his cage cos he likes it too much? hehe is that wishful thinking?
also sometimes after he eats he kinda bloats up like a sausage a bit up to the vent then when he poos he goes instantly back to normal.
he's been pretty quiet lately too and i'm a bit worried...does this sound like a vet visit is needed?
thanx everyone
