HOLY POOPIN POOP!

So ok Omega apparently really likes to shed and poop at the same time. So we just had a MASSIVE poop, in our warm side hide no less (yay) and he is in the middle of shedding, and now looks very freaky.

I am picking him up new hides today- so a couple of real quick questions, asked in an overexplained and verbose manner as usual...

Its ok to Knock an entrance out gently around the rim of those terracotta flower pots, right, so long as I sand down it down afterwards?

Also- 2 things- after he poops he is really really active, Ive noticed. Its 2 in the afternoon here, and he is out, mid shed, racing around like its a party in there. He has started to come through his head a little, but still has the entire length of himself to go which im guessing wont be done till tommorrow.

I do want to get the poo out- as it is all inside of the, and in the entranceway of, his warm side hide- but he freaks out if I even approach the tank, Im guessing cause he probably cant see well right now. Should i get it out now anyways, or just leave him alone? I dont want to freak him out when he is about to shed his eyecaps, but I dont want to deny him access to the other hide, either.

so, flowerpot entrance.creation, and disturb mid-shed to poo clean? And I should say, it was a Lot, I was surprised!

Thanks gang!

Just leave him until he is done shedding....if he wants in his hide, he will go through the crap. A little crap in the cage for awhile won't hurt anything although he may make a mess.

It's only poop. Let it be, and clean it up when you clean the enclosure out from the shed.

as for the pot thing, yeah, so long as the edges arent sharp.

Cool- leaving him alone was definitely the option I was hoping you gurus would push

He is still in the cool side hide, which is good cause their is higher humidity on that side, and so far so good, save the icky smell. Picked up the Terra cotta pots today, will put em in when I clean the cage post shed.

Thanks guys!
