Giant Pythons Get Hiccups?

We got to go to the Reston Zoo today since the weather was nice and warm and we checked out the Reptile House and the Giant Burmese Pythons who had a whole yin-yan scaly snuggle thing going on behind the glass. What surprised me the most was that it looked like the big black one had the hiccups. And while I know that mammals get the hiccups regularly, I had no idea that reptiles did. Jess thinks the jumps in the video were due to these snake having “familial relations, hubba hubba!” It looks like either hiccups or the snake was about ready to barf up a toddler’s sneaker.

What do you think? Hiccups or something else?
