I've got a few that are regular poo Picasso's. The blonde likes to give herself a mask, the worst is by far the 50% jampea Goldenchild. She doesn't go more than a few days without poo painting everywhere.

Your guys' snakes are weird. lol I always get neat little piles (well, Cloud's piles aren't exactly little anymore...but that's beside the point) in the corner from Bud and Cloud, although Draco usually tries to create a connect-the-dot picture with his tiny poos.

You're bound to get an oddball or two out of 20.

There is that, but still. Reading this is hilarious. I'm glad I'm not having to destroy my snake's Picasso paintings every time they poop. Probably something I'll end looking forward to eventually, though.

Reading this brings back memories, yea its very much a retic thing.. My bali yellowhead female used to love to smear poop against the glass, not a pretty sight to behold. And it would also run all the way down via the glass, making a slushing sound when you opened it. That sound would make my hair stand up, and it did not make the smell any better either! I did not like cleaning that. Had to take the snake and both windows out to clean it, every... single... time..

(She also did not like me very much, so it was never a quick clean-up)

How big was your yellowhead? I've got a chance to pick up a pair and have heard they generally get 14ft but can get bigger.

**Tsubaki** · 01-28-14, 06:28 AM

The last time i measured her (with a string) she was about 16 feet at 6 years old she was a big girl, the male was 10 feet but he was around 3 years old.

Sublimeballs · 01-28-14, 06:45 AM

I'd you ever weigh her when she was 16ft?

**Tsubaki** · 01-28-14, 07:18 AM

We did weigh her at the vet once, but that was when she was younger. I think she was around 60pounds? I could be wrong, all i know she was in a very nice shape

not fat or skinny.

Here we go! This is what I come home to. My retics quarantine tub flooded and full of crap. Mind you she is only about 2 1/2" feet so this is nothing.

**millertime89** · 01-29-14, 12:43 AM

God that looks familiar... oh wait, that was 30 minutes ago... Wait until you have a cage with vents and they learn to projectile piss at the vents or poop and smear the glass with sliding tracks and then piss on the poop so it dribbles down into the tracks and then leaks out when you open the cage... fun times.

One aspect i truly don't miss!! - when i look at that picture i can just smell it. My tiger now seems to be very well behaved, leaving neat piles! And she has not tipped over any water containers either.. She still guards her poop like its a treasure, but at least its an easy clean up so far. She is only 7 feet atm, you never know

she might turn into an artist yet! (however i pray she won't)

And millertime, i had an expert sliding track pee/poop artist, i know exactly what you mean! - horrorsmells! and dirty floors.. well not just floors, dirty everything.

It's the worst! I've still got a carpet stain from one...

**Tsubaki** · 02-01-14, 04:37 PM

Aaahhh carpets and retics Do-Not-Mix

I never lost carpets simply because i don't have any near snakes.. I did however lose a bedsheet. A very angry Ceram retic decided to projectile pee when i was handling her in a bedroom, and she made a nice splash drawing on the crisp white sheet.. The stain never came out.. ugh.

**millertime89** · 02-02-14, 03:12 PM

I just had to clean the blonde's tub after she digested a pig... what a rank mess that was. Poop. EVERYWHERE.
