Ralph Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 They have a lot of different hisses for mating, disturbance, etc. I haven't heard anything like a rattlesnake, but it might be fighting males. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psydeus565 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 Male territorial fighting was my guess as well; sometimes they'll shake their abdomens during the stand-offs while hissing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fangsalot Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 can it be them fighting over a female as well?its kind of like a quick shaky hiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 If you pet them while hissing they'll muffle it so it kind of rattles. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
