    Ball Python farting twice in a night?
    I’m writing this while half asleep, so apologies for any mistakes.

    So, my ball python is apparently very gassy tonight. But the thing is, not only did he fart yesterday, but he pooped and shed the day before that. He had a nice big poop waiting for me, and when he farted yesterday, he had just a small poop. I haven’t gotten up to check his poop yet this morning as it is 4 in the morning. But I will do that. So, my question is, should I be concerned?

    Edited: I got up and checked his cage and couldn’t find an ounce of poop or poop splatter anywhere.

    I'm sorry I don't have any advice but the way that this is written has been making me laugh. When you talk about his little farts and poops lol. I think ball pythons can hold it in for many months so maybe he just felt it was time to let it go. If the poops looked healthy I don't think it's anything to worry about.

    You know this is probably really weird but I wish I would hear my snake fart just one time. The only noise I ever hear from her is when she rattles her glass door trying to squish herself into the track. Or when I'm holding her and my hair tickles her nose she make a tiny little "puff" noise but her face has to be right next to my ear to hear it lol.

    In that case, we'll put in a good word for you to the 'fart fairy' & hope she grants your wish. :D

    Okay, thank you all! I am just a super anxious snake mama and as this is my first time, I am totally worried about everything he does that he hasn’t done before. XD I knew I was probably being paranoid, but this was just to make sure nothing was wrong with him.
