As draybar said, look at the section of the body just before the vent, if it's swollen when you take him out expect to get pooped on. Also, if you have a pretty active snake that rarely settles down when you are holding him, and then he settles down, be worried. That's how mine has got me in the past. I've been hoding him and I think, "thank God he has finally settled down and is just going to sit here." Then I get a big old poop in my lap.
Actually you should be glad that yours doesn't usually poop more than once a feeding (AKA less cage cleaning). Mine usually has 1 huge one then 1-2 more that are considerably smaller later in the week.
Also, don't put him back into his cage when he does this. They start to associate them pooping on you as a way to get away from you and back into their cage.
