alien chestburster? but seriously that can't be her heart beating ...right?

hey everyone! i'm new here and fairly new to the hobby. i was planning on lurking the whole time but i'm just completely lost with this one.

i noticed a spot on my BPs stomach was pulsating irregularly. first thing that came to my mind was the chestburster from aliens, but thats besides the point. i starting thinking that it was the heart but i'm almost positive that i wouldn't be able to see it that clearly even if it was beating as hard as it could. what could it be? should i be concerned about it?

heres the video:

I know after football practice if we conditioned alot you can see our hearts beat through our chest, its pretty creepy..lol.

But I have never seen that before! A vet visit might tell you.

I believe its his belly muscles looking for something to push off of.

wow, kind of acting like a finger or hand to push off of something? i never knew that their muscles could move so sharp and precise. i always thought it kind of moved like a ripple.

That's crazy weird looking. That doesn't look like stomach muscles to me. I've never seen them push OUT like that. They just kinda "scootch" back and forth...

But I don't think it's his heart either. It looks too irregular to be that.

I'm a little confused on this one. Did you only see it that once, or have you seen it before/since? If you notice it again, I would get scared and take him to a vet, but that's just me. I'm a worry wart.

Wow. I've never seen anything like that, so I can't offer you any wisdom or advice. If it were my snake and I saw that, especially if it's continuing, I'd be on the phone with my vet ASAP.

Good luck, and be sure to post whatever you find out. I'll be watching this thread for sure...

My other hobby is body building, Im 5'8 240lbs and 5% body fat, somtimes when I work out, I will be in the middle of a rep and you can see my muscle spasm....

I can also do a little chi chi dance, where I flex my pecs individually very fast... Maybe your snake was giving you a chi chi dance LOL....

This is what I mean, This is not me Im in way better shape than this, and I have better things to do than film myself doing a chi chi dance LOL
