curious about the snake pooping

[Jim Smith]

I can't answer why she opens her mouth when she poops, but have you ever considered just leaving her in her cage and let her do her business there and not out in different rooms of the house? I know that my snakes make a big enough mess in their cages, there's no way I want them pooping out in the house where I have to clean it up. Just a thought...

Kyrani posted about this snake a few months ago, I believe. It is a wild snake that snuck into the house and they decided to let her stay so that she could eliminate the rodent problem. She is more of a house guest than a pet :P
