| sometimes they can try and dislodge dust on their nose. but listen out for wheezing as this could be a RI, there is a thread a couple of weeks ago about one snake that makes a purring noise. if it is regular and not normal for your snake and you have access to a vet i would take him but im sure some more experienced keeper will shed some more light x |

They do sneeze/cough. They also yawn, fart and vomit. I think that's everything.
The sneeze/cough noise is usually them clearing their nasal passage, if its just a few its nothing to worry about, if it happens all the time then it is a sign of a possible RI but I'm sure you know the symptoms to look out for. |

| Sounds like its likely to be a dusty nostril. I was in stitches when I heard my first snake fart, it was my Royal, he is a right bag of wind. He signals that he is going to need cleaning with a audible warning siren. |
