    Pregnancy affects pooping cycles, much the same as it does humans.

    The girl has a bunch of mini snakes inside her abdomen. So pooping is going to be affected, and eating also.
    Wayne,
    Can you please explain as to why Garters like to poop in their water?
    Thanks!
    Jack

    Jack, you know, my garters never poop in their water but man, my hognose ALWAYS do. I think it's all a plot to keep us on our toes!

    And I was quoting a farmer, who was telling us about slaughtering cattle.

    I'm not surprised this quote came from a farmer
    cows are made to wade through water on the way to the milking carousels, to get them to poop before they get into the milking stations where the cleaning's a bit more difficult
