I have told you all about when I first got Fluffy, right?? My very first snake ever, a ball python-- and Jamie called me at work all excited, asking me if I'd heard the noise she makes. Noise? What noise? And he tells me, yeah, she makes this weird chirruping noise, I hadn't heard it?? And he mimics what she sounded like. I was all excited-- I had NO idea snakes make noises!!!! So I told everyone all about my snake making chirruping noises, and how I couldn't wait to hear...

Yeah. I know. Go ahead, giggle away. Chortle even, if you must. Did I mention how gullible I am?? Did I mention what a smart arse prankster hubby is?? Did I mention how I got back at him by dumping a cup of flour on him next time he was in the shower?

LOL!!!

Yeah, it is really weird...it is like a mix between a bark and a hiss...he only does it at night. A couple of my snakes have made breathy/weezy noises before...barely audible, but a noise nontheless.

These are all symptoms of respiratory issues

I figured as much...they haven't done if for a while...I got a dehumidifier, and it seemed to clear it up. Oh, and it is my monitor that 'barks', not my snakes.

That's the time when she's breathing harder. Check you have enough ventilation and that the humidity isn't too high.
