do snakes ever get the hiccups?

[tmartin2347]

so while I was feeding my snakes today I was thinking about that thread that someone else posted asking if snakes farted. which got me thinking do you think they can have the hiccups?

[jdmls88]

im going to say no just like they cant cough thats why RIs are so dangerous

No.. I'm not sure if they even have a proper diaphragm.

[frankykeno]

Far as I know they don't have a diaphragm so since hiccups are contraction of your diaphragm, I don't guess they could have them.

I dont know- but my bearded dragon had them once and they lasted for a full day and a half before stopping. lol. But no, I doubt that they can.
