    My snake is squeaking

    My ball python was doing this yesterday. She's not took a dump in a few weeks so I was giving her a warm bath to encourage it. In the bath she seemed happy, she was slowly moving around flicking her tongue and sometimes putting her head under the water. She made no atte.pt yo leave the bath at any point so I do not feel that she was stressed. After a bout 5 mins I started to notice a squeaking noise and after searching the room realised it was my snake. There was no mucus or open mouth breathing and when I took her out of the bath her body was very relaxed with no tension. I will keep an eye on her over the next few days but this did not appear to be an RI or stress breathing so I am at a loss! Hasanyone ever heard of a snake making squeaking noises in pleasure??!

    It's likely from water getting into the snakes nostrils and then causing the sound. If that's the case it's nothing to worry about and it will fix itself. It could also be from stuck shed around the nostrils but I don't think that's likely if it were only while soaking.

    Nope. But as already explained, a little water in the nose can do that.
