Last night my boyfriend and I were doing a Marvel/DC movie night, and our snake tubs are temporarily arranged right next to the living room on the dining table. We were getting ready to switch to the next film and all the sudden we heard this... noise. My boyfriend didn't pay much mind because he thought it was a critter outside puking or getting it on or something, but I was sure it was from the tubs. Neither of us could really identify what it had been, and to be safe I went and opened everyone's tubs/tanks to check.

I wish I'd gotten a picture... my mojave male was sitting in the middle of a runny poo mess all over his freaking tub. It also means he had such a loud sloppy fart that I couldn't even tell what it was without context I've seen multiple snake fart threads on here, and sorry to add to the pile but I have to admit that I always chalked those stories up to being exaggerated. To the community: I'm sorry I doubted you, and I wish I'd been able somehow to predict it and tape that, because I NEVER knew snakes could make noises like that.

Good news: I had looked in his tub earlier that day because I saw a pile of shed, and it was complete/collect worthy. Being a shed hoarder I was happy about it, and as soon as the sun comes out I'll have some freshly shed pics (I love doing those!)

Bad news: He's never had stools this runny, so if it happens again it's back to the vet with him. We took him a couple months ago for a tiny swelling under his chin. The vet took some fecals and blood tests, and said he wasn't sick, but his results weren't normal either, so I've been watching like a hawk for anything weird. Ah well

Now that I'll believe you ( ) You guys have good snake fart stories?
