Snake noise

[edstar]

Hello All

Last few times I've held my MD every now and then makes a pppfff kinda sound. doesn't seem to be showing any signs of sickness or discharge. And is eating fine. Should I be worried?

Thanks for your time!

Eddie

My 2 sub-adult NT phase Olive Python's also make a noise why out about strolling, but there is nothing to worry about cause they both are eating and going to the toilet, and have no health issues so l wouldn't worry at all mate.

shes speaking snake language...we just cant understand it....she's probably saying heaps of really intelligent stuff

I know Elvira hisses at me whenever i touch her when she has been asleep and wake her up.....I dont think I want to have any translations from her !!

I have a 4 year old coastal who recently started making very loud exhaling sounds. I described it to a breeder as the same sort of noise young kids make when they blow hard and fast through a cardboard tube. No wheezing clicking or gurgling sounds. He was a little stumped as he'd never heard it before but hasn't had much to do with large coastals, but offered an explanation of maybe a loose scale in the nostril she was trying to get rid of, it made sense, but she's had a few sheds and still does it. It's totally random, not just before or after a shed or a feed so I've no idea why she does it.
It's probably once or twice a fortnight for about two minutes, and she even does it in her hide, which looks hilarious because she only just fits in there so when she inhales the hide actually lifts up, and lowers again.
It reminds me of how I'd sound after a big feed .... A big breath in and a huge "phew" of an exhale
Shes perfectly fine other than the heavy breathing, so I put it down as an age/size thing and laugh at her when she raises the roof on her hide - which I will upgrade shortly
