New pastel just did something FREAKY!

So this is weird... My new pastel just did something really strange. He was stretched all the way out, then started jerking the front half of his body back and worth. While doing it, he opened his mouth, and was making what I can best describe as a roaring / growling sound. Like, really loud. I heard it over the tv, and when I came to look, that's what he was doing.

I took him out and checked him over... No signs of RI or anything else. Breathing completely normal. He's completely calm now, just hanging out wrapped around my neck. I don't think he was trying to regurge. I haven't fed him yet, and the shop said he last ate a week ago.

So yeah... I have no clue. Has anyone ever seen this?

With no signs of RI, the only thing that I can think of is either something may have startled him and he was hissing, or, and I'm serious here,the noise you heard was a fart. They can be quite loud with those...

lol... A fart. :P It's a possibility I suppose. Ha!

I'm pretty sure it was coming from his mouth though. You're right, maybe something just freaked him out. It was no hiss though... If I didn't know better, I could swear it sounded like a roar. Startled the crap out of me.

lol that's really wierd I have never heard of anything like this.. LOL

Maybe a stretch and burp/yawn lol never heard of ball python doing this or any other snake now that I think of it lol. :confused:

We have experienced the "Roar" and the snakes in question were throwing around the front half of their body with mouth open. That roar was not from their mouth though and was followed by an explosion of poo.

It was louder than the Tv, scared the dog, scared Corey and I. You should have seen the three of us rushing over to investigate a snake fart. That was followed by "OHMYGOSH! It's everywhere!"

ball python exorcism lol

my guys fart...a lot! i kind of think theyre mocking me :oops:

my male pastel gets pretty jumpy sometimes. i leave him alone and sure enough..he lets out a pretty impressive fart. after that hes as chill as he ever gets. weird but you all know how good a good fart feels. :D

And we all know the faces we guys like to make when we do that. I guess some "guy things" hold true regardless of the species... :rofl:

are you sure the sound was coming from his mouth? I don't think snakes have the vocal chords necessary to do what you just described...

"I cast you out!! Unclean spirit!!!" :P

He was prob really trying to push out a good poopy but failed. He seriously might be bound up a bit. The old "square peg, round hole" act. I know when I'll let out a good yell to get things moving on the toilet! Too much info?

Try soaking him in warm water for 15 or 20 mins and see if he makes the water brown :)

Its built up gas and its normal with feeding frozen rodents.

I have about 5 females that will do it once or twice a year. Their mouth is open cause their using muscle convulsions to build up th gas and thrust it out. Nothing to worry about at all

X2 with Rich. I've seen the exact Thing you're referring to. The first time I saw a female doing it it freaked me out as well.


Check out what's new on my website... www.Homegrownscales.com

he was head-banging and trying to sing Death Metal

This was the wrong thread for me to click in the middle of Genetics. I started laughing so hard, I was crying.

Got the weirdest look from my professor.

I didn't even know snakes could fart.
