There might be something serious to consider here though. Unless the snake is consuming air then the gas is coming from bacterial action in the digestive system. It might be smart to take a poo sample to the vet to make sure there aren't any nasties living in your snake's bowels. I was picking up some feeders today and "Mr. F/T" was there giving me grief for feeding live. He works at a vet and says he sees snakes with intenstinal infections all the time. He rattled off a pretty impressive list of bacteria and parasites and said that live-feeders should get a checkup once per year.

Which reminds me, when I was in there I noticed this massive boa had just done his business. It made me shudder. :eek:
Well i have never heard of that.It sounds like he just wanted to make you worry and think he is the know it all .
