clicking while swallowing

[Slippery Ernie]

I know that a clicking sound coming from your snake could mean a respiratory infection. Mine clicks once or twice when he is swallowing a meal. Is that normal?

Is this all the time, or only recently? Mine makes odd noises, including clicking when when he is getting ready to shed.

Fairly recently. But I've only had him for 5 months. He will make one or two clicks per meal.

Some of mine click when feeding but i put it down to air being forced out slightly harder than normal as they don't do it any other time and ya know shutting down one bit and breathing through another while eating something 3 times as big as your must have some affect lol. Just keep an eye out for it during handling etc but as said it also occurs when they're due a shed.
