Yeah, but HH probably hears little voices, too, HA! Just kidding, HH, but I couldn't resist.
Mine just hisses. I can't compare it to anything else. But what's really funny is if he's feeling rather funky, and a hiss is coming, he gets the air all stored up in his neck. It's like a balloon in there, under his "chin", then like a 30 sec hiss comes out. It's not loud, just long. I'm not quite sure what the long hisses mean. He does those all the time, like a longer, louder exhale than normal with a slow crawl. If he really means something, like after he eats and wants to be left alone, it's a short, louder hiss, sometimes with accompanying coil shoves. The "I'm coming to check you out, why are you in my cage" hiss is a medium hiss with a purposeful crawling motion.
They are so funny to read and figure out. So much character in that long body! My other snakes just aren't quite so interactive.
