just be careful handling it a lot. I recently had my Jungle female out with my wife on the bed. She was cruising around and then just stopped moving. I wasn't sure what was happening until my wife asked,"why is my leg wet?" I looked and she(the snake) was emptying her bowls on my wife. Just pee first, I didn't have time to get her back in her enclosure so I had to just hold out my hand and catch the rest until she was done. Believe me, having a carpet python take a dump in your hand is not my idea of a good time. Good luck.
