Got my Tiger back in Sept as a 4 month old baby, he's awesome, growing like a weed (7ft), extremely tame, love him!!..but the only problem is he pees and most of the time poops every time he's out. Def pees everytime which is almost everyday. Does this ever subside with age?
Thanks
Ralph

most of the time, it will go away. some snakes will always do that when handled or out of their natural accustomed micro-environemnt. usually its a nervousness and reluctance to be handled, but usually they get over it. handle the snake for 15 minutes or so everyday for the next couple of weeks. if he thrashes or does that or tries to bite, keep handling and dont let him go. otherwise, they associate that with getting free. retics are very smart reptiles. obviously, dont handle when fed for a day or two
