this routine is getting old... Suggestions?

[ReptileRy]

im getting tired of this.. EVERYTIME i hold sonny, she craps on me... everytime.. anyway to potty train them or anything? i picked her up right after she poo'd alot, then about 5 mins into me holding her, she urates and poops again.. but it was just the white cap and wetness. i love her to death.. but shes staining everything.. and my moms getting upset.. any suggestions?

Give her a bath before holding her. That might get her to completely void. Or you could hold her on an old towel until she poops again. Good luck! (Oxy-clean spray works wonders on stains!)

Maybe a couple of specific shirts that you only wear when you have your beardie out. This is what I used to do when I kept birds and had them out.

Mine poops in her water dish. She did poop on my husband the first time he took her out w/o me being home. We are fairly certain it was on purpose.

Does she actually want to be held? If you put her down right after she poops on you, you might have accidentally trained her that if she poops on you, she doesn't have to be held. It's pretty common if you own a cranky bird, so I thought the situation might apply here?

It may be the warmth of your hand that's making her pee on you, especially since she's doing it shortly after she'd gone potty. Or, another possibility is that she's stressed with being picked up (while the holding part is ok with her) and thus constrict her insides which makes her pee.

its always my clothes or the couch. never my hands, she will try to run off of me when shes gotta poo, almost like she doesnt want to go on me.
