Question
when ever i hold my corn snake he keeps pooping on me. we leave him 2-3 days after feeding but it doesn't matter. We got him a month ago.hes not even 10 months old.is there a problem with him?

Answer
Well there are a couple of reasons. One is that when the snake gets moving around it's likely to stimulate a bowel movement. Another is that's sort of a defense mechanism for snakes so that you will put them down and then they can escape. It will probably get better though as he gets older.
