Weird noise and then hissing?

[SecurityStacey]

The first time we heard our snakes fart reminded me of something hacking up a fur ball. Turns out it was explosive farting with a little juice after a big poo. (can we say splash marks?)

The next time I heard it, it sounded like a horse blowing and chuffing (? no idea what thats called, right after they neigh).

Both times it was loud enough to wake me up in the middle of the night.

I think this might have been what happened because upon further inspection he did poop, so he was probably just... farting? And scared himself... oh, yes, my Stan is special.

that is so funny. oh my. one time our male kenyan sand boa farted. i saw him stretch his little body out and lift his tail. i heard the pfft noise and it smelled. my boyfriend turned around and looked at me and said crystal! i blamed it on the snake cause he did it and he just gave me that yeah right look. i still think to this day he thinks it was me.

You haven't heard anything (or smelled it) until a 6 foot plus boa lets loose with a large and loud fart. My husband was at work, it was night time out on a very lonely lake road, the kids were asleep and I was on the computer. Suddenly this gawd awful loud sound behind me. I thought for a moment I had the world's first and only farting mad serial killer in my house!

It was only the big boa we were fostering at the time. She sortly leftafter had a massive dump and I'm sure felt very good about her world.

Yea it scared the crap outta me too when I was first awaken by a farting snake. I heard it and, in my mind, pictured the snake exploding in the tank. That's about what it sounds like. It blows my mind how so much sound can come out of such a tiny hole...

Thanks everyone, I'm sure that is what it was but I scheduled an appointment for him with a herp vet anyways, better safe than sorry.

Thanks!

Oh if only there was a way to make a snake fart! LMAO! Our BP is in my son's room and oh what pay-back that would be for him to have to deal with an explosive farting snake!! Boy that that kid let out some deadly ones and it's about time he gets a dose of his own medicine!
