    Weird noises while shedding
    is it normal for a bp to make a sort of *gurgling* sound while in the shedding process???:confused::snake::tears::weirdface

    Could you describe it better? Is it like a whistle, hiss, or wheezing sound? Does it sound wet?

    I would wait until the shed finishes and if the noise persists, take the snake to the vet.

    Never hear of that one before. You sure the walls aren't a little thin in your house and you heard the neighbor gargling?:rolleye2:

    No, never heard of that.

    Hi,

    No, not really. :weirdface

    Did you mean while actually removing the old skin or just while in the blue or just cleared stage?

    Had she just taken a drink or anything?

    Are there any other odd things like snail trails on cage furniture or wierd things in the waterbowl?

    Hm then maybe the description of what she heard was a little off.

    So you haven't observed the snake making this noise?

    Most likely the RI if you're sure she has one.

    So, the snake has a respiratory infection? If he does, then that is most likely what made the noise.
