That's scary! I wouldn't put it past your retics to hold urine as a "gift" for you! I think snakes are smarter than most people think---and retics have a reputation for nastiness.



I think my corn snakes do the reverse---hold it in as a kindness (don't dump on the hand that feeds you!) because they have NEVER defecated on me no matter how long I've held them, but often as soon as I put them back in their tank, they'll go. (They don't even relieve themselves on me when I have them at the Ren Fest for 10 hours, but they'll defecate in their tub on the way home---and then sleep straight through for three days afterwards!)





>>the brbs still dont nail me, but my pair of superdwarf retics, are pyscho, want to draw blood, and seem to enjoy pissing on me at the same time im holding them. Its like they hold it all in, wanting till the day im going to get them out. Now im not worried about the bites, but they do seem to have some kind of intelligence that i have not seen in a snake before, they seem to look at me, and decide just how they going to get me today
