    I just witnessed my newest ball python, Shorty, do something extremely odd. it seems as if she were coughing, like a burst of sneeze that came out of her mouth... and it happened about 4 times in a row, each time it threw her head back further and further. was she trying to regurge? tummy ache? lol, i'm a bit confused. about 5 minutes afterwards, she had a bowel movement and it looks totally normal (her first one since she's been here.) It was a little runny, but looked just the same as any of my other bp's...

    Currently Keeping - 4 ball pythons, a redtail boa, and a cali king. Now look, admit it. You know you want to give me an albino ball python.

    I've seen a "sneeze" (i not sure what else you would call it - open mouth jerk of the head sudden burst of exhale) before but it was rather quick and isolated. Maybe she just got a rat hair stuck in the back of her throat?

    Sorry about that. When I logged in on my phone, Tapatalk had it at the top of the list, so I just figured it was a new post. It had 2 or 3 threads from the same OP at the top of the list...hmmm...

    Spammers will attack these old threads and bump them back to the top of the list. Then the spam gets deleted. IF no one has replied, then the thread disappears again without any new posts. But IF someone has replied after the spam-hit, then the old thread will stay at the top of the list.
