You keep saying it pooped on you.
Is it actually solid waste or is the snake just musking you?
If it has had three solid "poops" on you in a week I gotta' ask how much you are feeding it.
Man I hate using that word. I would much rather just say did it really sh*t on you or what....lol

I started feeding it 2 times a week last week, so that is maybe why?

Babies need to eat a little more often than adults. When mine were little I fed them about every 5th day. The tiny pinks they eat have very little bone density or fur so they digest faster.

When Corns reach adulthood they will only need to be fed once every week or two. They "go" less often then. Plus by then they are more used to being handled and less frightened of you
so you seldom get pooped on.

Both of my Corns hate to poo inside their cages. I can usually tell when they need poo and take them out in the yard. They seem to like crawling in the grass and never fail to "go".

OK that would explain it.
I was just wondering how it could crap that often. The fact that you are feeding it twice a week would help explain it.
Don't worry, just keep a close eye on it and if you happen to notice a little bulge just above the cloaca, look out. It's mess time...lol
