Augh - the first time I played with my trinket snake, she felt the need to crawl into my tank top, into my bra and take a runny yellow dump. Snakes seem like they should be one of those animals with relatively inoffensive shit, but alas. =/
Definitely with you on feeling strongly about the cold-blooded creatures though! I adored my albino corn snake and was heart-broken when she was given away (against my will) - the trinket snake was meant as a replacement but for some reason I never got as attached (see above).
Yes, snakes universally love cleavage, and to poop in cleavage. And indeed, their scat is some of the nastiest nasty I have ever experienced in my more personal places. (My corn snake, then 3 feet, took a nice watery one right on my inner thigh once.)
My ex at one time had an 8 foot Burmese Python who constantly had shedding troubles. He'd have to get into the bathtub with her to rub the dead skin off. And then she'd shit in the bathtub, since that's what they do when you get them wet and handle them. She also ate his arm once, up to the elbow. He wanted to keep her after that but his parents wouldn't allow it.
Apparently it hurts, and is very scary. Which is why you should wash your hands after you handle a prey animal like a rabbit and before you handle a snake of any size.

I can only imagine what it feels like to get eaten by a snake!
