>>Do they instinctively mark there territory?

I think that if you keep track of when you change the paper and when you notice a poop, do this for 5 or 6 cleanings.

Then after that, the next time you do cleanings, tear up some of the paper that you took out. Pick out some of the "cleaner" paper that you took out. Place a couple of pieces of it back into the tank so that there is some of the snakes scent still in the cage. Then keep track of when you do cleanings and when you notice the poops. Along with this, you should keep track of when and what the snake was feed and when it poops after that.

Doing it like this might help you out trying to figure out if the mark their territory. It would be interesting to see the results.
