what the heck just happened!!!!!!!

ok i was on my way home from work and i was talking to my wife on the phone and all of a sudden she started freaking out. she said that she could hear buddy, our 7 year old male ball hissing and thrashing around in his display tank. she ran in the room and he was thrashing around mouth open hissing and pooing. and when he finished pooing he stopped and whent back to acting normal. the poo is not abnormally large. do you think he was just constipated. he seems perfectly fine now.

LOL Maybe he thought something was after him back there! :P

Could be. Was it diarrhea? I'd keep an eye on him for the next couple days.

Did you dip his last meal in hot sauce?

There was another that posted a similar thread a few months back. if I remember correctly they stated that their snake look like it was having seizures, then pooed & was fine.

what ever came of that snake?

To my knowledge the snake is just fine.no other episodes, I think it was just constipation.

I've heard of this happening before with someone's BP too. I haven't noticed really any of my snakes doing this, though.

LOL that one actually got a good laugh out of me. Thanks for that!:gj:

I seen mine do that and they are constipated. I know tha last time it happen to my guys was about 6months ago. I find it so funny to watch cause they look like they get a shock like a dog that pisses on the electric fence ( or human ) I kmow you all been constipated befoer and are like dam that hurts I don't want ot go again .

I have had this happen but it ended up killing the snake. A baby ch was absolutely fine had eaten a few days before. I came home and found her dead and strait and stiff as a board beside a big poop. Maybe becuase she was a baby it was too much for her,and she was only eating fuzzies. I can guess that maybe she had not properly formed intestines or something along that line, or the poop may have ruptured something and she died of toxic shock. it was too bad as she was a keeper.

I've had the same thing happen to me before :taz: , just not my snake:snake:

This happened about 4 months ago to my only "pet" ball. She is fine and has not done it again.

That sounds normal for when I go to the bathroom :worry:

he is fine so far lol so i guess he was just stopped up

As long as he's fine, I wouldn't really worry about it. When I goto the bathroom, man.. We won't even get on that subject.
