How often to snakes poop and for some reason do they prefer to poop in the water dish?

Also, do snakes avoid pooping in their hides or places they burrow?

Mine very rarely poo in their water so can't really comment on why. As for how often, quite regularly really, approx once a week. Unlike my boas that go once a month and leave quite a large 'present' when they do

If it was a different species of snake I would say that pooing in the water might be a sign of something, but I think kings are just daft when finding a poo place is concerned. Anywhere is a good, including in the main source of their life force.

Morse poops in his water bowl a lot >.> I don't know why, but it is sort of convenient since I replace the water every day anyway...
