Pythons (even small ones like balls) ... release a lot of stuff when they urinate / deficate. Try prying a hard glob of urates out of fuzzy carpet. It ain't easy and it is gross.

The waste (especially when it has dried) sticks very well to the little fibers in the carpet.

Some people say they just toss it in the wash, but I know I don't want my clothes being washed with snake poopy / tinkle.

As your snake gets larger, this will become more and more of a pain. You will inevitable switch to something that is easier to clean.
