I have a box of useless crap over in the same area as Evie that probably holds the answer to the strange noise. I just heard it long enough and am so fixated on this damn snake LOL that I started to worry that I was hearing my snake gasping and not knowing that's what it is. But I really think that if the noise I am hearing was gasping from a snake that I'd be able to see signs of distress in the snake. I just wanted to bounce it off you experts here.

So what kinds of noises can a snake actually make?

That is exactly what hers looked like, ribbons of snot, thank you! THAT makes me feel better. I have a tendency to freak out about things for which there are simple explanations when it comes to these snakes. I think I'm still freaked out by the thought of "playing GOD" and controlling every aspect of their lives, maybe.

When I hold her, I do get to see her face to face and get a pretty good look at her. Like I said, she's definitely strong and acting 'normal' and if that's just pee in her water bowl, then I am feeling quite confident that she's not actually sick. Of course I'll be sure to keep an eye on her.

It seemed off to me that she'd develop an RI one month after being checked out healthy. I'm glad I was just trippin

Now let's all hope and pray that she starts eating soon! I'm going to the guy who had her for the last year to buy frozen rat pups for her. He said that she was eating live rat pups with him, but I'm trying to get her to eat frozen food. Plus I think rats are great pets. I'm a big wuss. (Don't worry for her, I have a few guys that will feed her live if it comes down to that, she won't starve, I just won't be a part of it) I'm concerned about feeding her rat pups for one reason though, and that's that he told me that some of the others he had like Evie were also fasting right now... does this maybe mean that the rat pups are just a shade too big maybe?
