Weird noise coming from BP last night

[bones93]

So last night I was in the snake room and my pastel butter started making this loud choking sound. Was so loud it startled me. I looked in her tote and she looked like she was trying to cough something up. Made the noise a few more times and then opened her mouth up as if to relocate her jaw and then cruised around a bit and went back in her hide box.
Sounded like what I would think was a regurgitation sound but she has been off feed for a few weeks. I removed her and checked her out and there is no signs of respitory...nostrils clear,clear mouth,normal breathing.
Temps are ok 92 hot and 83 cool. This had me paranoid as heck last night and I cant sleep lol....Any help would be greatly appreciated

Could she have gotten some bedding caught in her mouth and gotten rid of (or swallowed) that?

[bones93]

I dont think that was the case. She is being kept on newspaper. But if I had to explain thats what it sounded like. Kind of like a choking and she was almost Sing her neck as if she just finished swallowing a rat.
really has me nervous but she seems to be acting normal today

Hi,

Was there any signs of poop or sounds of passing gas?

i agree... some snake shizzle sounds pretty crazy!!!!

[bones93]

Actually there was fresh feces in the tank when I checked on her after this happened but would it cause her to open her mouth like that? Maybe she couldnt even believe what the hell happened lol but if it was gas it would rival most humans! LOL
