Well, many different types of snakes do this, I have to clean fouled bowls out all the time, just last night as a matter of fact.



This is something that just comes with the territory of owning them. Most snakes don't do it while they are in it, they wait until they leave, or after they have gotten a drink. Then when their tale gets over the open void of the bowl, this often stimulates them to poop for some reason..LOL!



Having one or two snakes that do this now and then isn't nearly as bad as having a BUNCH that do it. Unfortunately I know this from lots of experience..LOL!
