Does anybody have an adult sub male that gets excited and suddenly becomes the "wizzer".I have an 8 month old that gets excited (like a puppy that piddles on the floor when excited) Could he have IBS?
His new name is Mr.PeePee Pants
Just wondering,jtd

dont worry about it. its an action taken out of fear or stress. i would let down on the handling if he does it constantly. i know this was a big problem with my monitors a while back. they would scratch the life out of my arm and proceed do "do their business". the risk on infection was tremendous.

a few of my well tamed animals do that, a few cresteds, tegu, and a few other geckos. i think it is a way for them to keep their enclosure clean by defecating outside of it.
highly stressed or very feisty animals will do it while trying to escape as a form of defense to smell/taste bad to a predator.

Thanks!
We don't over handle him,it just seem like he's a little squirrly sometimes.and Mr. poo-poo pants started doing this as soon as we were very sure he was a boy.
Teenagers.What can you do?
