do any of your snakes do this type of thing? or could i actually be pushing on his lungs?
I've only had Salem since last Tuesday, and he's hissed at me once when I went to get him out of his leaves. My friend's ball python will hiss if you wake him up and nudge too much before picking him up. *shrug* thats all I know about it.
