Is it normal for my ball python to vibrate? It's nothing too noticeable, but when he is just sitting in his hide, if I touch him gently I can feel a faint vibration, kind of like a cat purring. Is this him snoring or?
hi i just seen this and ive been having the same thing with my male python. he has been very aggressive the past month and had actually bit me. hes been doing the vibrating thing as well.
No it's definitely him, it's only when he's sleeping. As soon as I start to pick him up, he wakes up and it stops. Not sure whether it's all the time or just sometimes, he's not aggressive at all though.
Not trying to worry you but keep an eye out for RI, my boy done that for some time then started what i thought was yawning. Turned out he was getting poorly. Probably nothing like this but thought it was wirth mentioning.
In the end I worked out it was his scales rubbing over each other as he breathed in and out. Was only detectable when he was totally relaxed when sleeping.
