I just went to see my snake (almost 2) at my mums house.
Opened her viv and took her out. She seemed active.. I then did my weeklycheck and saw that her belly near her cloaca was a bit bulgy... Im not sure if shes overweight.. I decided to give her a bath and massage her belly. She then started to make hissing/coughing like noises. I immediatley took her out and fed her
Shes back in her viv now acting likeshe normally does...

Well thats a relief, it was really weird. Never seen or heard anything quite like it xD

They do sneeze, cough and splutter if they get water in their nose by accident.... :-)

I did scoop out quite a lot of poop...
She really needs to come live with me again, my landlord wont allow me to have snakes because hes scared of them -.-
Moving soon hopefully!

Yeah, she may have been expressing her displeasure. When Aleron hisses at me it's amusing, it's such a pathetic 'huff'. Keep an eye on her, if she does it regularly then there may be cause for concern.

I think that might be it :0
Dont think she would of eaten if she REALLY did not feel well...
For the coughing I guess it was just a sort of hissing combined with her putting her head under water by mistake when I gave her a bath?

Is the bulge just by the vent? Could be a poop bulge, they look a bit fat when they really gotta go.
