    ok well recently my sand boa started making the weird clicking sound with his mouth. i have had him a little over a month now and he started doing this thing about 2 weeks ago. it looks like he get a bubble of air in his throat and the when he makes the clicking it looks like he kinda flattens his head and the bubble goes away, ether its that or maybe it woulc be his jaw. anyone had this happen before with their snake.
