I was remarking to my partner (tolerant but not enthusiastic about my snake hobby) about the different habits of my snakes concerning where they choose to do their toilet. The pyros without exception all choose a spot as far away from their nest as possible to poop at. The bulls on the other hand tend to poop in their moss hides, or often near their nests. Yuck! My partner said that bulls are home invaders; they go into a burrow home and eat the residents and then take a nice nap, later pooping the victims out in the living room. The pyros on the other hand are crevice dwellers who do not venture far from their rock outcrop homes, generally lurking for their prey, and do not want to poop up their living rooms. I am pleasantly surprised that my partner has such insight into the habits of these creatures even though he is only politely interested. That's more than I can say for myself when he tries to engage me in a conversation about world events, particularly anything to do with war or politics! LOL!
