Rumbling noises?

Sometimes when I pick up Luigi his stomach/digestive tract makes those rumbling noises like our stomachs do. Is this gas build up? Or digesting noises? Do I have something to worry about?

He hasn't pooped for me yet, but he did pee. I've noticed that he makes those noises every since I got him 2ish weeks ago. He ate a large rat last weekend. His basking spot is around 90-93 degrees.

He's probably just digesting...

Re: Rumbling noises?

How soon after feeding are you handling him?

I hope so. That's what I thought but didn't want to just assume.

He's being doing the entire time I had him. But I gave him a week to digest when I first picked him up for a sec to fix something in his cage. But I didn't actually handle him till today and that's about week and half after he ate

Sympathetic response shunts digestion.

Re: Rumbling noises?

Post a recent pic of him! Let's see the "lump" he may still be digesting, or he could be backed up a little...more than likely he's got a nice "lump" near his vent, and will give you the gift of poo any day now : )

Fortunately it's a boid, so those 'gifts' won't be all that often. If it were a colubrid, it'd be the gift that keeps on giving

Yes, my Grey Banded King just loves to keep sharing his deposits with me. And it is always guaranteed he will leave one after he sheds as well, which he did today

My king is the most regular of all my animals. lol And boids may not go that often, but mine leave deposits so large, I sometimes wonder if it's normal. lol

True story... Penelope (Milksnake) starts pooping on day 3 after eating, and it's usually a good idea to not handle her till day 5 because she does not mind pooping or peeing on me or in my bed haha


Jaleely, there is no lump that I see :/
