Hey there, something interesting happened just now and I was wondering if this is normal or if my snake is strange.
Fírnen my bp just shed within the past thirty minutes and, as he always does, left me a big poop to clean up in the process. Afterwards, he came out of the hide he had shed in and made three very loud, very startling retching noises that I’ve never heard him make.
I was scared because I thought he might be regurging or vomiting, but then I remembered that he hasn’t been fed in a while because he’s been in shed this whole time (to be clear, he didn’t regurg, yayy). As I was cleaning up the poo, I noticed that it smelled reallyyyy bad.
Could it be that Fírnen was reacting to the smell of his own poo? Has anyone heard of snakes doing this? 😂
