are Snakes really silent?

All my snakes make their own individual noises, whether it is heavy breathing, sneezing, hissing etc. the trick is to learn what YOUR snakes do and to know when that noise changes into something that needs investigating

All 175 of my snakes breathe silently. Any noise from thier breathing and they get quarantined immediately. Better safe than sorry.

How many different spiecies is that though? I can say my bloods and balls are silent, but my not all snakes are. I suggest to the OP to look up an article by Dave and Tracy Barker about Vocal Hissing in snakes, especially carpets, retics and white lipped pythons. I only know of one ball python who is slightly vocal, but not because he's a happy camper
