Well after doing my research I thought I was prepared for a king snake. Up till this morning everything had been as I expected. He's tail rattled at me,hissed at me,struck at me and introduced to me the heady delights of snake musk. 
This morning though,while sitting quietly sipping my coffee and doing some coursework,I had the unexpected pleasure of hearing my first snake fart!! 
Cheers Vader for giving me such a good giggle. 
Some pics of him. These were taken before he earned the affectionate name of Trumpy Bum:

Lol,maybe he's hinting that he wants you to pass him a tissue so he can blow his nose!
He does sound a proper thug bless him. Its hardly surprising they get scratches and bumps. Vader makes me cringe at times as he lifts his hides up and pushes them around. They are heavy too! Gets in a right nark at times and ends up hissing while he's doing it lol. |

No idea 100% but Ozz is a hooglian ttoo, it must be a king thing! But with how often I see him rub his nose against the viv doors, actually pusshing them enough to make them rattle a bit, and trying to prise the vents out I guess its because he is a nose rubber or often have big boogies lodged far up :D His nose looks a 100% better straight after a shed but like a few weeks later, it looks really brown and crunkly!

Ha,ha no worries. I can see what you mean by the pics. Now stop picking on my baby (just kiddin')  You should get one,they are brill snakes,always out and about and full of personality.
I use boot polish Sta~ple  Yours always looks tip top to me. How did he damage his nose the,or don't you know? If Vaders anything to go by,it'll be by hooliganism! |

His head is in lovely condition though, you rub vaseline on his nose? :P mine has just a wrinkly damaged nose! |

I'd never have thought snakes actually made a noise ... I would have cried with laughter, although I wasn't laughing when fluffy pooped all over my pyjamas the other night ... vader is such a beautiful snake though, easily forgiven lol |

Lol Auld Baldy,snakes are cuter than men thats why they get away with more,plus they don't fart as much as men either!
Was it a male snake that let rip Lixra?
@ lotabob,yep its just the lighting. His eyes are perfect and he has no scars either,its some specks of aspen. Sure theres a better term than speck,but can't think of it at the mo.
He had a very good home with another forum member prior to me.  |

I thought lighting but with what looks like scars to his head I thought maybe he was a rescue with a story. |

It's probably just the lighting. |

Lovely snake but is there something with his eyes, one looks bigger than the other in one of the pictures (his left eye) I think I missed this ones arrival and background. |

I've kept snakes for over 10 years, and actually heard this for the first time a few weeks ago. Sitting typing on the computer and heard an awful noise from the snake rack... I couldn't stop laughing...
Auld Baldy makes a good point, when my husband does it, it's far less charming |

He is stunning. Weird question - but did it smell? |

Cheers,I'm really happy with him. His bottom burp has made him all the more endearing in an odd way.  |
