Hello all. It's only happened maybe 3 or so times in the last few weeks, but the odd time when I pick Colin my Milk Snake up he seems to cough or sneeze. It seems to happen when my hand first touches him. He's not gasping for air, or blowing bubbles, and he's still very active and eating well.
Any idea what's up with him? I'm not overly concerned, just wondering.

Is it possible that he just 'jumps' when you first touch him?

It could be that maybe. Tonight was one of the few times when he didn't really wanna come out of the tank.
I doubt there's anything wrong with him......he's very active tonight. I think he's in the mood for some lovin

Over on the Reptilian someone suggested that it might have been a hiss. Can kings and milks do that?

I'm not sure if they can hiss. I have never witnessed it, they tend to rattle their tails or musk, but it could be possible.

Nagini hissed once or twice, but only when he's been really aggressive.

Is he still doing it?
