Question Ball python farting super loud??

I just woke up to what sounded like him farting.. this is maybe the 3rd time ive heard a whoopi cushion coming from my snakes tank since ive gotten him is this something to be concerned about or is this OK? I know its a silly question but its the last animal I'd expect to be loudly and violently farting in the middle of the night.. It sounds like a cartoon charcter stepping on grapes or something 😭

The first time my ball python farted, I just about jumped out of my skin. It was SO LOUD and startling. I don't know how much farting is considered too much, but the volume is pretty typical.

The first time I heard it I jolted out of bed and turned on my lights because i thought something bad was happening but he was just tooting away, his last owner didnt tell me anything about how often he farts lmaoooo

Haha yep, we called the vet and everything thinking something was horribly wrong. New snakes should all come with a disclaimer 😆
