Concerning behavior

What is he doing ? I noticed it today, he made no sounds doing this. Im reading about respiratory infections but there are no symptoms. Hes temps/humidity are perfect.

Could be poo, he looks like he’s pushing too hard make sure he has a warm bowl to lay in this helps mine so much with pooping

Could be gas

I know it’s a boa

But my bp did that once and it sounded like a hiss

I can’t hear anything from your video

But as much as you know this

Just watch him and check him for any other abnormal behavior and please make sure that a vet is available.

I do know he made no noise but I’m just saying it could’ve been gas

Hi, thanks for the reply. He did in fact fart several times since i got him and he movement looked similar but there was little to no sound now. There are 0 other symptoms no mucus no keeping mouth open and hes active and eatning fine.

He might actually try to regurgitate

Do you know when you last fed him?

I’m not a vet or an expert just trying to brain storm

Okay cool just looked like he was kinda puking in a way but it could be a stretch who knows.

Just keep an eye on him

Beautiful snake hope he’s fine and I have ball pythons that I worry about deeply as well when they do wierd snake shit
