Re: boa behavior

Sometimes it just happens.. If they're excited or agitated they can breath heavy.. Not quite hissing but sounds similar. Has she recently shed?

Re: boa behavior

No she hasnt recently shed and she only did it once I kinda dont think it was an aggression thing because she really never missed a beat with what she was doing

Re: boa behavior

Probably just a loud exhale then, nothing to worry about unless she keeps doing it.

Re: boa behavior

Sounds like a loud exhale nothing to worry about unless its happening alot which could indicate a respritory infection
