Do snakes fart?

I was holding Mr. Snake last night, and he was slithering up and over my finger. This was putting some pressure on his belly, similar to a massage, and when my finger was 3/4 the way down his body, maybe slightly more, I heard a small pop.

Did he fart? Or did I participate in snake chiropractics? I didn't actually smell anything... but he did do a small poop between last night and this morning.

Just trying to keep it lively, folks. ;)

hahahahahahahahahahaha

good question :D

maybe he/she was hissing?

I witnessed my first snake fart a couple years ago while I had my bp in the bathtub for a soak She stretched way out, got into "periscope" mode and lifted her tail up at the same time.... alot of bubbles and a very loud fart followed. I almost died laughing!

Nah, not a hiss. A small pop. Like a fart or a rib cracking.

Wow! That would've won the ATV $100K. Too bad you didn't get it on tape. Surely, a moment you will never forget.

There did seem to be a tiny (slightly larger than a pea) bump in him near that spot. But he had eaten 96 hours or more before. Maybe...?

But, snakes don't even have a finger to pull. :fart::fart::fart::fart::fart:

Yes, it's true... mine did it when I was soaking him once!

I didn't really hear much (kind of muffled from being underwater), but there were some bubbles! I didn't really take a whiff either! :O

When Nap farts, it wakes me up at night. He'll do it 2 or 3 times too, And he doesn't even poop. Hahaha.

My pinstripe farted while I was cleaning out her tub about a month ago and it was unreal how loud it was, louder than the majority of fake movie farts out there! She stretched all the way out and lifted her tail slightly and it was the most vulgar, disgusting sounding one at that. :eek:

heh no finger, just a tail.

But Im laughing at all the fun things I have to look forward to when i get my bp's. I can't wait. :D

YES they do indeed fart. Some really make some horrible and nasty sounding farts... I'm glad I do not had a burm or a retic!

Audible noises? Wow, we're too green to have experienced that. Uh, can't wait?

Same thing happened w/ a burm I had!

Freakin hilarious!

He just looked at me and I could swear I heard him say, "Dude, it was the dog."

Yep and a 6 foot plus BCI farts loud enough to rattle the windows let me tell ya LOL. First time I heard it I was home alone, it was night time and I thought for a moment..."omg I have a burglar in the house! and he's got BAD GAS!!!!!" Nope just one big snake that shortly thereafter left me a pretty impressive mess to scoop up. :)

My snake just farted late last night! Weird...

This all started with the lower belly rub Mr. Snake got the other night, during which I heard the pop and asked the question. The next morning, he had left me a small poop.

Well, last night, I gave him some serious belly rubbing; he seemed to enjoy it. Then I stopped, thinking, I don't want him to actually poo on me. Well, this morning, I awoke to a gigantic poo in his nice, new water dish. Thanks, buddy.

So if anyone out there has a snake with constipation, give me a holler, I'll walk you through the massage procedure. :D

By the way, now that I've seen this (it was the first poo in his water), hand washing is in full force and NO kissing! I am now a true believer.

And that my friends is the bottom line.

LOL

*dies laughing* Oh god this is the funniest thing I have seen in a LONG time!!! Even my mom (not a big fan of the snakes) was laughing. I feel a bit left out, having never heard my snakes fart...

I am soooooooo glad you posted this thread cause I thought I was going crazy. Clair will fart when I hold her and every time my hubby hold's her she poops on him.:8:

I don't know? But my ribs are cracking from laughing! Thank you!!!:carrot:

Glad you all enjoyed it. :)

I can't believe this thread is still floating. I was shocked when it stayed on the front page for more than a simple "yes". :)

Snake farts are important. /nod

Thankfully, we haven't witnessed Lourdes fart yet...but Cleo has tooted a couple of times. The best time was I had just turned to look at her in her vivarium. She looked at me and let one rip.

*pfft!*
"That's what I think of YOU, mommy."

I love snakes. :D

Ocassionally, I hear a puff of air and am not sure if it's a fart or a mini-hiss. :)

I heard my snake fart for the first time like 2 days ago when it pooped...it was like a 15 second fart lol

Not sure what it is. But after my blood python eats. He let's out a burp. Could be a fart. Who knows. He does it occasionaly. No smell though.

My BP is making some gassy noises as I type this... it's a baby so they're rather squeaky... LOL. :O

i think everything that has an anus, creates gas in the intestines, so its only natural for gas to collect and either realease at one time, or dispurse slowly, like a leak.

well I can happily vote here and say Yes they do fart. a week after I had gotten Goliath I was holding him and I didn't hear anything but suddenly there was the smell.. I had to laugh because it caught me off guard. lol he was quiet but deadly!!!

So eloquently put.

Jdmls88, I'm afraid, farts are like ghosts; they don't photograph well.

Unless you're my ex boyfriend, who used to light his farts on fire!
Do snakes fart? Yes. Is it loud and scary sometimes? Yes!

Wow! I wonder what other marvels your ex could do. :D

I've heard the stories and they are always the same: Snakes fart and its LOUD.

But I've never heard it. Must be something in the diet. Maybe it has to do with what the feeders were fed..??

omg, when our snakes fart, it wakes us up from a dead sleep! sometimes it sounds juicy, sometimes it sounds like a horse chuffing sound, (i dont know the technical term). But yes, loud and sometimes scary.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. HILARIOUS!!!

I could not tell you whether they do or not but if you ask my wife she would tell you they do. I always blame them. :D

:gj:now that is hilarious!

I dont know if My snakes fart. But I just did!! :oops:

Yes, they do. Just put them in a warm tub of water... eventually you'll see and hear. It's actually pretty funny when you see a 10ft burmese looking at you and then you see a trail of bubbles coming from their... tail.

It's like they're saying, "The rat did it..."

I keep Burms ... farts are not funny :O

I know this an old thread, but i'm really glad i found it today!! The other day while waiting for my shipment of frozen feeders to arrive I was forced to go and buy Darla, my female normal a rat. I had to get her the smallest one they had. It was still pretty big. Well that was 6 days ago. and yestarday she started out of her hide finally. I noticed however that she was still really thick from her middle to her vent, and right after her vent, she got back to little. Almost like at a 75 -90 degree angle. I thought " wow she's really going to crap any moment!" so today, nothing. I was in the middle of switching out her temp gauges to digitals from analogs when i heard what sounded like a little fart or burp. she was just looking at me like" My God man please do something before i explode!!" So i put her in a bath. In an instant, she started swimming for about 5 seconds and then suddenly stopped at which time she let out a big burst of wet bubbles along with urites and then a little turd!:banana: I put her back in her terraruim and within an hour she crapped! so I will say YES they DO fart. long story I know.

My Violaine (snow corn) is an abyssmal farter.

I am hyper attuned to her gas. I can hear it before it comes out, and I have lightning reflexes that can untangle her, and point her vent floorward at a 60% angle (to prevent splashing).

She loves a good gas passing and seems to really enjoy projectile defecation as a hobby as well.

I've heard mine poop before :oops:
