I had a male boa make loud noises like he was passing gas. He started all of a sudden. He did it about 7 or 8 times. They each lasted about 4 seconds or so. Then about 30 minutes later he did it again. I looked inside and seen him do it. His mouth was open and he was writhing like he was trying to regurge. I checked the heat and seen it was not like it should be. I cranked up the heat and he has not made a sound in over 24 hours. I held him last night. He is breathing fine with no sound or distress. He is active and alert. No mucus anywhere. This morning I got up and fed him. He ate with no hesitation. Can anyone explain what happened here or have any ideas on what happened and/or what I should do?

Thanks,
Dan
