    Hiccups
    last night I was looking at lilly ( my female baby ball) and her body would jump as if he had the hiccups. Thats the only way I can describe it, and then she made a sound I havnt heard from her, it sounded like someone twisted the cap off a bottle of pepsi. like a air relief sound...is this normal? it was exaclty a hiss either

    My guess is that it was normal as long as shes not still doing it. Probably just some air backup inside of her.

    Provide some more info.

    Cage temps, humidity, etc.

    Chances are, if it was an all of a sudden thing accompanied by a body movement it was a hiss.

    Worst case scenario, you are hearing wheezing, indicative of an upper-respitory infection. Been seeing a lot of these threads lately because people don't keep their snakes warm enough through the winter.

    Thats was I was thinking but I didnt want to admit it. I was home for christmas break and didnt trust leaving her with anyone else so I took her with me.....I did the best I could do set up wise the whole time I was home. She stayed in a 10 gallon tank ( just a baby) aspen bedding, log hide box, water bowl, and a lil zoo met UTH, and a heater by the side of the tank. The heater stayed high most of the time with temp around 85 90, but not very sure without the thermometer. But I kept her pretty warm. if anything it might have been to much. But she likes getting out so I would take her to get her food ( a pet store) and from the car to the store it was kind of cold, which I felt really bad but didnt think it would effect her health. I actually think she does have an infection because it sounds as if she realesing air...but I cant decided if its a hiss or an infection beause she had never hissed before.
