BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

I got pooped on like I hold him everyday and he's good but he pooped on me

it happens
They tend to go to the bathroom after they've been active for a bit.

I have been able to dodge the poop bullet several times now...all about body language. They give you "hints" when they are about to poo. However my bathroom counter has gotten it several times. Never quick enough when he isn't on me LOL

I do the same thing when someone picks me up without asking.

Pooping in self defense eh?

Coomassie pooped on my neck once. We had a serious chat and he hasn't pooped on me since. He has also been sort of burmating though so come spring, who knows?

Joey once crawled up my pantleg and pooped up there! Then I had to try to drag him out of there without smearing the poo everywhere, and then get my leg out

Get pooped on!!!

ugh and i thought it was bad getting peed on by a VERY well hydrated skink at the vets office and being cold and wet for 2 hours..at least it wasnt poo in my pants or...neck?! Ewwww

This. Mine went on the floor on the second day and from then on I get him back in the tank usually without any more than some urate leaking. It's pretty easy to tell with Jambi, he clenches his eyes like he is straining and lifts his back legs completely off the ground.

That reminds me of one time he was laying out across the speaker part of my laptop, because it gives off warmth, and he decided to try to crawl up my arm, he was much smaller then and couldnt pull himself up, but he was trying, and he was scratching the crap out of my arm and trying so hard that he was straining and making little groaning noises. Then he strained ao hard he peed. Everywhere

Someone should invent skink diapers.

Haha, my gf and I keep forgetting to leave Toothless out for a bit after we dig him up, instead of just taking him right out of the terrarium. She ends up getting pooped and pee'd on all of the time because of this haha. (she doesn't find the humor in it like I do )

try handling centralians,they poop alot and to add insult to injury pee like a glass of water with it to ,lol
