    Um... REALLY loud snake fart????

    So I was just relaxing on my bed watching some youtube videos before I started hearing these super loud noises? I thought maybe the hose outside my window had exploded or something, or maybe some dying animal was outside, and then I realized it was coming from my ball python.

    His tail was pointing straight up in the air and he was FARTING! But this was no normal fart. This was like a snake bomb air explosion fart.

    He didn't even poop. He just passed some solid urates along with some clear liquid. Could he possibly be constipated? Should I worry about him?...

    After he was done he stretched his jaws and slithered on his way. He's now crawling around his tank, perascoping, and doing his normal middle-of-the-night snake routine.

    I already knew that snakes fart, but this was like just too crazy for me to not worry about.

    Same I have had a few really let em rip. As long as it isn't a chronic thing, he's probably fine.
